I’m sure most of you must have loaded the UBUNTU NBR on your EEE 1008HA just to discover that you are not able to connect to the WiFi network. Well, do not worry. Just follow these steps to get the Internet working:

1. Download Ethernet drivers from here from another computer having access to Internet connection and install them on your EEE 1008HA
2. Reboot
3. Now, on your EEE 1008HA, with Ethernet cable plugged in, download Wireless drivers by typing this in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty

Reboot again and WiFi will now start working.
