hi, i have had the same problem and asked a while ago (about 1 week ago) about the driver for wireless card for asus eee 1000h and the answer i had received from mr Sam Leffer was: 0x781 is an RT2790; not supported by any driver in the tree. this is first time i am hearing about another driver wich is working with this card and i shall give it a try to see what happens.
