Before i end the toipic, anyone got any feeback on the Asus Eee (mini

It works, but no drivers exist for the wireless or wired Ethernet ports.
The wireless is a newer Atheros part and ath(4) should gain support for
it, but I have no idea what the timeline will be. The wired Ethernet
is an Atheros (formerly Attansic) L2 10/100, and I'm not aware of any
concrete plans for a driver for it.
I've used a Linksys USB200M USB ethernet (axe(4) driver) with mine and
that works well.
One of the guys I know is running FreeBSD on the Eee, and has written
up the following information for anyone who is interested in doing
what he did:
http://nighthack.org/wiki/EeeBSD
This includes tips on how to get the wireless working, and sound,
and some oddities with how X11 works.
