Sorry about that! I don't have it loading on boot, since it consumes a lot of the battery life, but I think activating it manually or automatically is inconsequential--the result should be the same. On my system, it created an 'ra0' interface; not 'wlan0' like you would expect.
I installed the 'wicd-curses' package, which is a pretty decent, Python-based network management application. Open up wicd-curses and hit shift-P for preferences. You'll need to specify the device for wireless ra0 in the settings. It doesn't scan by itself when it loads the main screen, so I hit shift-R to refresh, and it pulls up a list of networks. If you have a WPA2-secured access point, select it from the list and hit the right arrow key to configure it.
There will be a section in there for configuring your passphrase it also supports pre-shared key authentication, or PSK. If you have any trouble with that, let me know, and I'll see if I can get you some screenshots through my LXDE terminal. I've been happy with wicd-curses so far--there is also a wicd-gtk package for GTK-based desktop environments. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I managed to get a Sylvania SYNET to do something useful, I had actually lost all hope about it but with this now I can not only experiment but I can also go around without the hassle of carrying a laptop.
Shown running X11 with the "amiwm" window manager. Add this in to your. The values range from 0 through It seems that anything less than 90 is essentially off.
The default is I run it at 98 in very dark rooms. As with ordinary laptops, netbook RAM is easy to replace once you remove the main cover plate on the bottom of the machine. To replace the memory, simply push outward on the two clips holding the memory in place near the notched groove on each side. The RAM will pop upward toward you for easy removal.
Head to the main tab and confirm that the system recognizes the new memory. If it does, your upgrade is a success. Upgrading the internal Wi-Fi capabilities of a netbook from In theory, it should be.
In theory, you should be able to purchase any old miniature wireless card, pop off the back of the netbook, do a quick shuffle of components, and enjoy the increased functionality and speed of the new card. When purchasing a replacement Wi-Fi card, you need to know whether your netbook can support a full-height or half-height card.
To verify this, remove the back of the netbook and look for the existing Wi-Fi card. A full-height card is long and rectangular, almost like the shape of an SD Card for a camera. In contrast, a half-height card is stubbier—it resembles the shape of a CompactFlash card or, for that matter, a full-height Wi-Fi card cut in half vertically.
As for the specific brand of Wi-Fi card, there is no hard-and-fast rule to determine what will be compatible with your particular netbook model.
Gently disconnect those wires, undo the screws holding the card in place, and remove the card from the slot. Insert the new card, reinsert the screws to tighten it into position, and reconnect the two antenna wires—note, however, that the specific card you buy will dictate whether you should reverse the wires as compared with their positions on the original card.
Overclocking represents the pinnacle of system upgrades that an average user can perform without physically deconstructing the netbook. Other netbooks are a bit more flexible in this regard. Users of earlier Asus Eee PC models can pick up the Eeectl utility, which permits them to alter the frontside bus within Windows and, consequently, up the speed of the processor.
Still, these are waters best navigated carefully—or not at all, lest you turn your netbook into a doorstop. This will release the keypad from the top and then you can pull it forward and free the tabs at the bottom of the keypad.
At this point you want to release the keypad cable from its socket - the dark colored part of the socket is the compression tab to locks it in place. You might at this point want to release the two other cables, the lower left is the touch pad, the lower right is cable to the two push buttons on either side of the touch pad and the LEDs at the front of the unit. This is all part of an accessory board that runs across the front of the unit.
Now flip it over and remove the remaining screws and stick a small screw driver in the front middle where a single bit of plastic holds it together. I had some problem getting my top to pull away from the two hinges and it seemed using the small screw driver to pry up ever so slightly on the top of the tabs, freed them and allowed them to slide over the hinges.
It is a bit tight where the hinges and the top of keybard come together and thus will take a little playing with to get it to separate cleanly. After a few tries I was able to fold the lid back just right and give a pry and the top came free - a bit of having the right push-pull experience to make it work easily.

Digital Gadgets can walk you through the fix to turn on the wireless card. Sometime after lunch, the components of which I suspect I am no longer allowed to discuss, I developed a peculiar craving.
It wasn't a sweet tooth or a need for coffee … it wasn't even the rare moments when I feel like walking into a bar in the middle of the afternoon; this was different. It wasn't just the raspy voice or championship career that drew me to the King of the Ring, but the all-in attitude he carried through every aspect of his life. Whether it be wrestling for twenty championship titles, acting in the movie Spider-Man or making a rap album, Savage went lights-out.
That night I tossed and turned in my sleep. The first sign of a normal dream would be permeated with initially hidden chants of "Ooh Yeah! Resolving that I wasn't going to get much in the way of sleep, I pulled up my ultra portable and convenient Sylvania 7" Wi-Fi Netbook to start listening to "Pomp and Circumstance" while I browsed the internet for sunglasses and bandanas.
Nothing, it seemed at the time, was more important. Without my Sylvania Netbook, I don't think I would have made it through that night. My insatiable desire to know more about the four-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion would have reached dangerous levels had I not been able to access the internet so conveniently and effortlessly. Fortunately, I never had to live that part.
All thanks to this Netbook. That is why I have volunteered to share my story to all those considering purchasing this fine device.
It could change your life. Also, Macho Man Randy Savage, during the tour for his monumentally inspirational rap album Be a Man, he said that he was "absolutely going to have more records. This Smartbook is one of a family of devices focused on mobility and Internet access.
Smaller and lighter than a laptop, your Smartbook is meant to be used anywhere life takes you. Don't GIVE up Since then, the device appeared in a CVS advertising circular on Sunday and has been "flying off the shelves," an article by Information Week reports. Apart from the coloring of its case -- both silver above left and red above right versions are offered -- the Sylvania netbook appears to be the same device that was placed on sale last May as the ITA Smartbook 7.
That netbook was being sold from a website appropriately called 98dollarnetbook. Namely, the device is said to run Windows CE 6. The Sylvania netbook mimics more expensive netbooks with features such as three USB 2.
Digital Gadgets cites Like the Smartbook 7, which, we're confident, came from the same Shenzhen-based supplier, the Sylvania device is said to include an mAh battery.
According to Information Week writer W. David Gardner, "reviews and comments on user chat rooms were generally favorable. I actually like this little mini-netbook.
It's pretty fast and responsive. In a minute video review embedded later in this story , YouTube user "gdavisFTA" counters that "the Sylvania boots really quickly, in about 30 seconds, but that's the only thing it does fast -- everything else is really slow. As noted in the video review, the Sylvania netbook includes an Internet Explorer version that does not support Flash, but also offers a separate player for YouTube videos. The device is said to include additional software such as Windows Media Player and Wordpad.
WonderMedia Technologies used 's Computex show in Taiwan to launch an arm9-based system-on-chip SoC aimed at "smartbooks," digital picture frames, media players, and other devices.
The SoC appears to support a wide variety of memory types, and WonderMedia touts the Prizm 's "low power consumption," though further details still haven't been offered.
WonderMedia has not provided any information on these processors, but according to NorhTec, which used the VT in its MicroClient TC, they're similar to the Prizm but omit certain multimedia extras. The parent company is primarily known for its xbased processors and chipsets for the mobile and embedded markets, including the Eden and Eden ULV, the C7-M ULV, and the bit Via Nano, a 65nm design with an out-of-order execution unit.
At the time, Via said the processors were licensed to help Via and its subsidiaries improve products aimed at mobile phones, set-top boxes, telematics, and personal media players.

A Wi-Fi hotspot is a wireless access point that provides Internet access to network devices in public locations such as downtown centers, cafes, airports and hotels.
Businesses and schools are increasingly using Wi-Fi hotspots for their internal intranet networks. Home wireless networks also use similar Wi-Fi technology. Computers and other devices connect to hotspots using a Wi-Fi network adapter.
Newer laptop computers contain built-in adapters, but most other computers do not.
