I am well and truly stuck. I’ve installed 10.04 on a Compaq Presario V5000 and have had ZERO success getting wireless to work. :(

I found this link to fix the problem on EEEPC 901!

I figured it out… a little more information would be helpful. First, on a default install dkms is not installed on ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install dkms

Next, on the link to Matt’s page, it doesn’t contain the “Adding this PPA to your system” area. That is found here:

https://launchpad.net/~matt-price/+archive/mattprice

I don’t know if it is necessary, but I added his ppa to my sources using:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:matt-price/mattprice

and then ran the update:

sudo apt-get update

Hope this helps someone.

I tried sudo apt-get update to update the sources but I still get the dependency error. I’m using dpkg to install the .deb file, is there a similar command to update using dpkg?

Travis, once connected to Internet, update the software sources and then run the deb file

Hi? Do you know if it does indeed work for the 901 model or is it only a 1201x solution? Thanks.
