there should not be any issues from updating should there? im new to linux and just wanted to make sure... since everything seems to work after the install except WIFI, FN+F2 does nothing, would updating fix this? any advice how to go about fixing this?

Did you run eeeconfig for your model after install? Install eee-control?
Offline
Installing eee-control will provide the required support for F2 and a few other important tweaks.
We will be releasing an EeeConfig update which installs eee-control automatically very soon.
In the meantime, you can open a terminal window and install it yourself with:
sudo apt-get install eee-control

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a full system crash when installing eee-control via apt-get? Display becomes garbled and active ssh logins to the system from remote machines become unresponsive. Problem remains when rebooted. Only fix I could find was to boot into recovery mode and remove the eee-control package.
Note that this is happening during the apt-get install -- not when trying to use eee-control. It all zips by pretty quickly, but it looks like the last thing mentioned by apt-get before the crash is that it is running some acpi scripts.
I'm running the latest release of Eeebuntu Standard on a model 1000.

Take a look at the log and see if there is an error you can tell us about. Should be in /var/log/apt or in Var/log/syslog I think. Perhaps someone else might know offhand which log it would be in specifically.
Alternately, you can have the errors sent to a specific file so you can debug. In this case this is what you should do to make an error file.
First you create the file you want to send the error to
$touch apt.err
Then you run the apt command, sending any error output to the file:
$sudo apt-get install eee-control 2> apt.err
Now any errors that occur during install will be listed in that file.

Apt-get is not producing any messages on standard error, and there is nothing I can find in any of the system logs that looks like a smoking gun.
Here is standard out from apt-get when it is installing eee-control. The crash occurs immediately after the last line is printed.

There is a program I want you to run, but it will have to wait intil I can access the machine.

I want to start off by saying I recently installed Eeebuntu NBR 2.0 on my 900A and so far it kicks ****. 
If this OS was installed from the offset by Asus, I think the reception from buyers would have been far better as, IMO, the user interface and experience is significantly better than Xandros.
I also noticed that the wifi hotkey does not function. As such, I found this thread. I've installed all the updates that Eeebuntu wanted and noticed that Eee Config appears to be installed (Main Menu -> System Tools -> Eee Config). I selected 900A and noticed there are many scripts available.
Which script is responsible for enabling the Fn + F2 wifi toggle? The ones that appear to be wifi/hotkey related are:
- Hotkeys Fix
- Wifi Control
- Wireless LAN
Also, should I execute the other scripts, or which scripts are recommended? And is there somewhere I can find more information on what each script does?

I just selected "ALL" in eee config for my model, installed eee-control, then applied this fix http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=57206, and everything runs smoothly. I'm not sure if there is much to be gained by not enabling all the model-specific scripts in eee config, but happy to find out.

I just read in another forum, that there´s a problem with the 1808-bios for the 901.....
I downgraded my bios to 1805, but still the same, with 1703 it´s working! :-)

Upgraded to latest BIOS (803 for the 1000 model) and now can install eee-control with no problems. The control itself also seems to work fine. I was mainly interested in a WiFi on/off switch, so now I'm happy.
Offline
Only wanted the WiFi on/off switch to work intalled eee-control via apt-get on my 701 SD.
Recieved Full system crash as mentioned by Naught
Removed eee-control and all is OK.
Will try the BIOS upgrade!
