I'm almost certain, but not 100 %, that the early EEE PC used
ndiswrapper.  Up to the 901, they used the AR5007EG and it took the
MadWfi folks, well, FreeBSD's Sam Leffler, mostly, to get a driver
going. 

64 bit support was only added last Summer, IIRC.

Buffy: Oh, look at my poor neck... all bare and tender and 
exposed. All that blood, just pumping away. 
Giles: Oh, please. 
Spike: Giles, make her stop! 
Giles: If those two don't kill each other, I might lend a hand.
