[00:29:44] matt [wronka.org]/Merch Jamie upgraded her EeePC yesterday from Karmic to Lucid. It went surprisingly smooth, although the EeePC ACPI scripts packqage is apparently broken (depends on ACPI-base or some other packqage is apparently broken (depends on ACPI-base or some other packqage that's not there, and wireless was broken. Looking on the webs; I found various people people saying that it didn't work out-of-the-box with "fixes" ranging from ndiswrapper to pulling source from version control. The latter seemed odd as it'd been working in Karmic. Finally a poster indicated that his problem was caused by the wireless card being disabled in the BIOS .... sure enough, rebooting and looking in the BIOS config it turned out that was what happened, oddly.
