The livna rpm usually works, however, from time to time, they fall
behind in kernel versions.  They were having some issues which are
probably fixed by now.  (I haven't been running F9 on anything save a
workstation which has no wireless, so I haven't kept up.)

The Asus 901 and 1000 (I'm not sure about the 900) are using a Realtek
card.  Someone on fedoraforums has posted a howto about it, but not
having the machine, I have no idea how well it does or doesn't work.
There are also articles on the Fedora wiki about the EEE if I'm not
mistaken.  (However, not having that machine and planning to get an Acer
Aspire One, I'm no expert.)
