Will do.

Note that Xandros say the newest model EeePC (S101) 'is now using a
"normal" kill of the antenna, which is easier to work with'.

So if you're unlucky, the current eeepc-laptop worked perfectly on the
S101, and now it will simply refuse to load :). But it's probably safer
that way. At least the 701 runs quite adequately without eeepc-laptop.
I guess it can be fixed when someone interested gets their hands on an S101.

Thanks
Alan
