FS#218 - eeepc problems in 1.8.2

There are a few problems which prevent 1.8.2 to work flawlessly in eeepc:

Fn-f2 doesn’t work at all, i tested puppylinux and there is working perfectly, they found there is a particular way of modprobbing and rmmodding modules in order for it to work, they have made available a pet package, which is not else than a compressed tar.gz with all the stuff needed, might be nice to give a look to it: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1394464815&t=31947

on the same, the wireless driver is extremely buggy, it shows every wireless hotspot as protected (even if they are open) and with minimal signal, and shows many troubles in connecting...again in puppylinux it worked perfectly, showing correct power, they use a patched madwifi driver, like eeedebian does, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1394464815&t=31947

fn-volume keys have no effect, probably the script is not implemented yet, the scripts for puppy do it fine, you could shortcut by giving a look at their work.

I would suggest to run locale purge after installing on eeepc in order to save space, i recovered 200mb with it.

At the moment is almost not usable because the buggy wireless driver, is too hard to connect to hotspots.
