When I initially installed ubuntu on an eee box, the way I installed
with wireless activated so that I could get the wireless driver was to
boot into Ubuntu LiveCD then select to install from within the LiveCD
(instead of installing at boot.)  For some reason the wireless driver
was available to the LiveCD but not to the install image.

Not sure if that's what you're looking for.
