Another line from dmesg:

<3>wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13)

Hmmm, more kernel 2.6 based hardware? Not a good sign.
How about the ndiswrapper route? Of course you would have to rmmod the existing wifi modules before you attempt ndiswrapper.

Yes, blacklisting the existing modules and then ndiswrapper is the way ahead. Puppy Linux 3.01 has a GUI for blacklisting modules and in fact I write this from Puppy running on the EEE. How do I do it in DSL?

In /opt/bootlocal.sh
rmmod ath_pci ath_rate_sample wlan ath_hal

I would imagine that eee would run with any 2.6 kernel based system. But saying that does not help with the issue at hand, does it.
