Talk:MSI Wind U210

Hi, I noticed your wifi section is blank, Ive just got a U130 today as Im too poor to pay the extra for the nice black cased 200, and it has the same hardware for wifi. So perhaps your at the trying to get it working stage and I can be of some small assitance.

What I did to get wifi working was upgrade to kernel 2.6.36-gentoo-r5, then disable all the RA link drivers in the kernel wifi drivers, and enable the staging drivers as per on this page :- http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC_1000H#Wireless

I then got the firmware download from RA themselves in the link mentioned in that page, and put it in /lib/firmware as instructed after renaming it to rt3090.bin as required. Once that lot is in, the usual emerge of wpa supplicant etc and it works nicely for me. Bluetooth too after I rebuilt modules to include bt usb as it appears on the usb bus when you use the hotkey to enable bluetooth as a MSI bluetooth dongle.

Webcam, the instructions here work for it for the 130 :- http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/MSI_Wind

hope this helps your future edits of this page. Im off to play with the card reader and sound as it seems a bit scratchy, 2am alsa tinkery, got to love it...
