701SD wireless

[Scott Evans]

Can we just back track a little...

When the Eee PC is powered up is the blue LED active? if not then the
wireless card has been disabled with the "FN + F2" key combination. Also
as previously mentioned, double check the BIOS to ensure that the
wireless is enabled (default is not enabled)

As for the make of the chip for the wireless is an Atheros type.   I
have 2 Eee 701SD here, both using Lucid netbook edition and the wireless
is working just fine!

I too have an old WiFi gateway that only uses 40bit WEP (used with MAC
filtering as well) so maybe also check (or reset) the password in your
WiFi gateway (remember to update password in all other items that use
the gateway!)
