Eee PC 900AX Suspend and Wake fix Ubuntu Netbook WiFi Solution.
Went and grabbed a nice new $198.00 Eee PC 900AX. The device comes with Windows XP Home, which I removed after one boot, just to make sure the Eee PC worked out of the box.
The installation of Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 on the Eee PCwas simple and easy. I started to check everything worked, all was spot on except when it came to suspend and Wake up. The Eee PC would suspend but not wake up. I use the suspend feature alot on my laptops, so this was annoying.
I suspected the wireless to be the issue as I tried Easy Peasy and the wireless didnt work, suspend did, nothing really worked to well using Easy Peasy.
Using latest flavour of Ubuntu Netbook edition 10:10.
