Some days ago I've got an Asus Eee-PC 1215B and I had a lot of trouble
to make wireless and cable to work. To the point I got near a deadline
of 7 days before returning it to the store, and I decided to return
it.
I changed to an Acer Aspire One 722 BZ893, hoping it would work out of
the box. I even got a live debian distro in a pendrive to boot there
in the store, to be sure it would work.
Well, it worked with wrong resolution, but ok. The internet (cable)
was fine for a while. Then I brought it home.
For some unknow reason, I discovered that the internet only work for a
few moments, then it stops. That is eth0.
For wlan0 never appear.
In this rare moments of useful internet using my KDE live distro, now
installed, I was able to install synaptic, update the apt-get, install
wireless-tools, google-chrome, and some other basic stuff.
Now I can't get any internet time anymore. I don't know why...
eth0 simple doesn't get an IP address, and ifconfig doesn't show wlan0.
I'm in kind of a deadline because I need to decide if I'll keep it and
keep trying, or return it for good. I feel very frustrated and
although you doesn't need to know, I could barely sleep this night
because of this problem that is ruining my vacations and finances.
Please, if someone would be kind to guide my step-by-step and make it
work, or if someone knows for sure I better return and buy something
else more "compatible", I'm all ears.
My /etc/network/interfaces is:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
I tried to write eth0 here, but maybe I'm confused with interfaces,
wicd and network-manager, how to chose one, and how to manage it.
Too much options, none make sense to me. Maybe if someone could help
with one alone...
iwconfig gives:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
vboxnet0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
route -n gives an empty table.
ping 192.168.0.1 gives:
connect: Network is unreachable
The computer is an LED LCD 1366x768, multi-gesture touchpad

as soon as I test the suggestions. Every help is welcome.

I bought an Acer AO 722-C52kk because it looked good; wished I hadn't, nice machine but, oh the trouble to get it working properly, (sound still using wrong card, or some such).
Your ethernet should just work with almost all Linux distros OOB using DHCP; I think there is a problem there.
Much as I like my troublesome machine, I advise you to take it back & get something running Intel Atom with Intel graphics.

Before you give up you might just try the latest installer:
Make a disk from the testing .iso image and
see what its installer can do.
Debian Installer 7.0 Alpha1 release
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Choose your architecture and the image you want. I usually download the
'net-install' and burn a disk but I don't see why the smaller images wouldn't
suffice as well.
If you like entertainment, let the installer do the job on its own. If you
don't like that then overwrite it with your personal touch.

Dear Keith and Charles,
Thanks for your reply! I decided to return it... Charles, I wish I had
this idea yesterday, but now maybe is too late, because the store
already put back windows 7 on it.
It would be so nice to buy a good netbook with debian on it out of the box!
Cheers,
Beco

I feel like Kitchner at Khartoum alas too late. If you are an American Doctor you
won't be short of money, so I could suggest the best place to go for that,
probably a laptop instead of a netbook with choice of Debian installed and setup:

I can vouch for that company. Have done business with them in the past
and was always satisfied.
But last time I got a Thinkpad, I contacted Lenovo directly and told
them I wanted a system without Windows on it. They sold me one (at a
$200 discount) that I stuck Debian testing on with no closed source
firmware or drivers. It works very well.
Good fortune to you!
