I always connect to a new wireless hotspot via a hotspot finder in the taskbar tray. If the hotspot has a key (WEP type of security), i put the key here, the first time i connected to it.
After that, if you want to connect to that same hotspot again, you can connect via network manager i mention on above article. You won't be asking for the key anymore, EEE PC store that key for you.
But, if you connect to that hotspot via hotspot finder in the taskbar tray, eee pc will asked for the key again.
hope it help
hi - i can never connect to a public wifi like in a hotel - how do i do that when i need to pay for access? normally you get taken to a signup page but Eee never does that
ok - seems this page is a dead one - will search for an answer elsewhere :)
i work in a hotel an my eee pc goes straight to the connect page every shift, no problem. is there a password for your hotel connection?
i want it to connect hen i walk into the hotspot without me having to do anythnig, like windows does.
this annoys me intensely.
Hi Robertybob..i'm sorry for a late response
As far as i know, when we go to paid public hotspot, usually there are two method to get in.
If the hotspot marked open (there are no keylock icon on the wifi), you can connect to it. Then, you'll be directed to a login page where you can purchase the connection or put a password.
But, if the hotspot marked close (keylock icon appear), you should purchase the connection or talk to the costumer services first. They will give you the hotspot password to get in.
Works for me everytime.
But, do remember, that sometime we encounter a hotspot that seems not compatible with eee pc (we found it at my home town). They just keep crash in, and make firefox so unstable.

Hi Avril,
Make sure your wifi adapter is turn on.

It recognizes and detects the wireless connection. But still, it's always pending. The Local Area Connection is also pending. I have put the key for the wireless connection. However, it still does not connect. WHY?! Please; help. Thanks in advance.
I have the 'on boot' option checked, and this still does not work. i have to go into the networks list and choose my router and press connect. I'm going to install windows, linux is turning out to be a waste of time.

I just bought an EEEPC 701SD Series 7 inch netbook and am having trouble connecting to WiFi at home. We have a desktop and another laptop running on Windows XP and Vista that connect fine with our WiFi. This EEEPC brings up the wireless connection options, I've entered the WPA password, but it just keeps saying "Pending" and does not connect. Someone please help? I'm this close to getting a refund. =)
I'm still trying to connect to the internet automatically, but have to input the key everytime. I don't see a start mode option under properties. Can you please assist me? Thank you.
