2008.11 on the Asus EEE 701

Things that have been fixed/work out of the box since 2008.05

  • Keyboard/mouse now fully functional throughout the install
  • Sound works by default
  • Webcam *should* work by default (my model doesn't have one so I can't test)
  • Atheros wi-fi still requires an additional download 
    $ wget http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/downloads/ath-x86-ar5007eg-pkg.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf ath-x86-ar5007eg-pkg.tar.gz
# pkgadd -d SUNWatheros
# init 6
  • Attansic L1/L2 ethernet is now functional thanks to our good friend Masayuki Murayama 
    $ wget http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/atge-2.6.2.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf atge-2.6.2.tar.gz
$ cd atge-2.6.2
# make install
# ./adddrv.sh
# devfsadm -i atge0
# ifconfig atge0 plumb
