Looks like no one wants to touch the Eee pc 900. I have the same thing and the same problem. The wireless keeps searching but never actually finds it's connection, even with kismac. Anyone have any ideas?

You probably have resolved your issue, but if you haven't it was suggested to me by someone on youtube that you need to remove the wireless card and install the dell 1390 pci card. It's about $5 (plus shipping) on ebay. This solved my problem. I had the exact same problem as you. When I plugged in the new card, it worked flawlessly. My specs are: 900mhz processor, 1 gb ram, dell 1390 wireless card, 16gb solid state harddrive, originally stocked with windows xp, now running iPC 10.5.6. The ONLY issue I have left to resolve is sleep mode. It still eludes me.

Working Sleep eee pc 900 (well, a work-around)

 

Well, if anyone is interested, I found a sleep work-around that allows me to put my Eee PC 900 (XP edition, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB SSD, 1390 Dell wifi card using iPC 10.5.6 SSE2/SSE3 Final) to sleep, wake it up and have everything working normal. Since I can't make a new post, I figured I would post it here. One of the main problems I was having originally was that I could put my computer into hibernate mode and wake it up no problem. However, there was major crackling noise when any sound was played which wasn't worth putting the computer to sleep. I have gotten it to sleep, wake up, and not have this issue, here's how:

 

1) Put your computer into deep sleep (hibernate) using the 'Deep Sleep' Widget.

 

2) Wake up using the power button when you want to resume.

 

So here's the trick.

 

3) Make sure you set the 'regular sleep mode' in the Deep sleep widget to quick (perhaps safe works too).

 

4) Hit fn-F1, which throws your computer into that quick sleep mode.

 

5) Right after you hit fn-F1 your screen will turn black, at this point, just hold the fn button down and press F4 (the brightness button).

 

THIS FIXES THE CRACKLING NOISES!!!

 

I don't know why, I don't know how, all I know is that:

 

a) waking from regular sleep by itself leads to the screen not properly turning on.

 

waking from hibernate leads to crackling sound.

 

c) going from deep sleep, to wake, to quick sleep + continuous pressing of 'increase brightness' wakes the computer up properly.

 

This literally takes a few seconds to bring your computer back its full potential.

 

Good luck!
