Thx Mario, I'll try that as soon as I can.
In the meantime, this is a workaround. However, I do notice wifi
connection is behaving a little slower than when using Xandros default
EeePc desktop. My guess is this must be the ath5k driver instead of
the one you mention.

== work around from eeepc forum ==
Once intrepid is installed (I used LG external usb DVD drive)...

1) edit   /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the follow line:

blacklist ath_pci

2) Edit /etc/modules and add the follow line:

ath5k

3) Reboot
