For information: The Pupeee Linux distro is brilliant & makes an excellent live cd.I can almost guarantee that the live cd would find the connection.The ISO is only 139MB in size & is simply burned to cd as ” IMAGE “,then alter BIOS to boot from cd to run. Pupeee Linux is based on Puppy Linux 3.01 and built just for the Asus Eeepc. All the needed drivers come preloaded for the screen resolution, sound, mic, wecam, ethernet port, and wireless card.
Many programs are included such as Audacity, Skype, Gtkpod, Xmms, Xine, and the Seamonky web browser. There are even applications for bit-torrent, and VNC. All of this in 139MB. It works great on other X86 computers as well.http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Linux-Distributions/Pupeee-Linux-36176.shtml

I’ve had these cutties working with wireless so…
check the epc wireless is enabled
check the wep/wpa keys are enterd correctly – re-enter them again after restarting both the modem and epc.
check the BT modem’s wireless is enabled
check the BT modem is broadcasting its ‘SSID’
check the BT modem is permitting the epc to connect (see MAC Access list)
