Ok, so I found an Asus eee PC 4G Surf in a box in my shack, and
thought I would try it out with AllStar software. I booted up off
the USB external cd rom and started the install.
It all stops when Allstar wants to connect to the internet, but the
network port is not enabled. I cannot get passed this point.
How can I get the Asus eee to enable it's network port when booting
up? I suspect the AllStar ISO i downloaded, does not have
the drivers to get the ethernet port to fire up.

The NIC that is in mine does not have source for it in the kernel tree. To get my eee PC to work I needed to get the drivers for the network port off the net. I used Google to find it.

I have been able to get installs working using a Linksys USB ethernet adapter which does seem to be recognized… Then after all the updates and patching is done, if it still does not recognize the onboard NIC, go fetch the appropriate drivers for it…
I use this on a lot of newer boards that have newer NIC chips not supported in the default install library of the install disk…
