I finally got my hands on a Asus EeePC 1000HD. It *does* have atheros wifi,
which works with 100% free software. :)
Note the 1000H does *not* have atheros, just the 1000HD.
================================================
I got it via mercadolibre (argentina ebay) from this company:
suck -->
http://cygnus-sistemas.com.ar <-- suck
suck --> Germán Boccoleri <-- suck
I if anyone googling comes across this, i highly recommend *NOT* using that
company. The guy tried to cheat me /and/ mercadolibre. Anyway, its kind of hard
to do a bait-and-switch on a guy who writes a freaking distro for the eee so
*i* got what i wanted.... But if i was a "normal" user, he likely would have
gotten away with it.
