''The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_eee | Asus EEE]]is an Intel based compact laptop that comes out of the box with Xandros Linux.  Here are some ways the PTP is using it for our purposes ''

The Asus EEE PC 7XX and 9XX come stock with

 * 802.11b/g Wi-Fi mini PCI express card: Atheros AR5BXB63
 * Xandros Linux

Until there is a stable distro with stable drivers for the Atheros here is how to get Kismet running on a stock EEE

 * Switch over to Advanced Mode by following the steps at [[http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:getkde |http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:getkde]]

 * Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

  {{{
####Only uncomment when grabbing deb packges not in the officail}}}
  {{{
###repos.Never upgrade with this uncommented.}}}
  {{{
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free}}}
 * Close the file and do an update

  {{{
sudo apt-get update}}}
 * Install Kismet

  {{{
sudo apt-get install kismet}}}
 * Install GPSD if you need

  {{{
sudo apt-get install gpsd}}}
 * Edit /etc/kismet/kismet.conf to add

  {{{
source=madwifi_g,wifi0,wifi0
}}}
 * While you are in there enable the gps if you have one set up

  {{{
gps=true }}}
 * Close the file

 * Set up two scripts to run , one to run Kismet and one to Reset the wireless config to run for normal use

  {{{
vi kismetup.sh }}}
  {{{
sudo wlanconfig ath0 destroy
sudo kismet
}}}
  {{{
vi kismetdown.sh}}}
  {{{
sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta}}}

== Presentations with external display ==

This possibly applies to any suitably equipped machine with xrandr support.  This is the incantation I use to enable and use the external display using eeebuntu (circa late May 2008):

 * Because X autoconfigures by default during X startup, the maximum screen size will be too small if you startup X without a display attached.  So, to override that, add a SubSection to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
 {{{
Section "Screen"
    ...
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth   24
        Virtual 1600 1200 # or whatever you think is generous enough
    EndSubSection
EndSection
}}}

 * With X running, attach your external device

 * Then:
 {{{
xrandr -q
xrandr --output VGA --auto
}}}

 * If you are annoyed by your bouncing avant-window-navigator being in the wrong place, just restart it:
 {{{
killall avant-window-navigator ; avant-window-navigator >/dev/null 2&>1 & 
}}}

 * To turn off the external video and return your display to something more normal feeling:
 {{{
xrandr --output VGA --off
xrandr --output LVDS --auto
killall avant-window-navigator ; avant-window-navigator >/dev/null 2&>1 &
}}}
