EEEPC 701, Server 11.04, no wireless

I'm using my EEEPC as a web server as its screen is just too small for desktop use. It works really well when connected via an ethernet cable but I don't know how to set it up for wireless. Ultimately I'd like to be able to drop it on a table in a training room and it provide an ad hoc network for laptop users to connect to and access web pages from.

It has worked with wireless on 10.04 desktop

Any ideas?

I had the same issue, and after a lot of messing around with settings, I found it was actually the bios menu where it was disabled. Check it out.

I have a EEE 901 (the one with the 4gb/8gb drives). I am a complete newbee to Ubuntu and I also just can't get the wifi working.

It is on in the bios and the shortcut key appears to turn it off and on (function + F2). The wifi won't auto detect my router (which is WAP2 protected) or any of my neighbours routers which are unlocked. I have installed "wifi radar" and this does not locate any routers.

The driver list shows nothing and I do not know where to do from here short of going back to XP (which I don't want to do).

Any answers please try and write as if you were speaking to a five year old (this is closer to my mental age than my actual age :)

Thx for anyones time in advance. KrashKit
