asus eee pc 1005ha



I definitely had issues with the wireless on my eeepc when I first got it 
due to immature wireless drivers.

You may have better luck with Ubunt 9.10.  Its still beta, but its 
scheduled to be released the 29th, so its close at this point.  It's 
rather nice on my eee pc 1000.
