I recently purchased a new HP Mini. Love the form factor, as does Stef. It’s great for checking e-mail, web surfing, etc in the living room while watching TV.
First thing I did was drop Windows in favor of Linux. In this case, Ubuntu. I found that everything worked flawlessly except I couldn’t SSH out. After searching around a bit, I found the solution, which I’ll post here in hopes that it saves others some time.
In /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools , add the following line at the end of the file:
/sbin/iwpriv eth1 set_vlanmode 0
And restart networking. You should now be able to SSH in/out of the HP Mini.
