tilo writes in with news that Kevin Lo (kevlo@) has added support for the Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet devices, also know as Attansic L1E. This is good news for owners of newer eeePC netbooks that previously had no working ethernet. Thanks to Kevin for porting this driver to OpenBSD, and to the contributor of the hardware as well!

Now that really looks like a Monkey Island combo ;)

well, you know that chip doesn't work yet, so if you need OpenBSD on an eee with working wireless and wired ethernet, pick one of the models with ral(4) like the 901.

On the subject of mini computers, the Fujitec 810 is a neat little computer, a large pocket size mini.
The 901 eee seems neat, but I still want more portability, but bigger than a normal cellphone.

The 901 has good battery life (a very useful 5-6 hours in light use with wifi on) which I think would be a problem with anything smaller. If I'm going out for a day I find it a lot easier to carry this than a Zaurus + charger + wifi card.
But then my phone is a 9300i which kind-of fits your "more portability, but bigger than a normal cellphone" criterion...

I'm guessing it's one of those international naming things, but here in the US, I think these pocket-mini's are called the Fujitsu U810 (and/or U820)?
I've got a new U820 sitting on my desk now, and unfortunately it is still loaded with the default MS-Vista crap. Eventually, I'll get around to seeing what can be done with OpenBSD on it.
