If there is a better place to ask this question, please let me know.

I am running Lenny on my desktop and would prefer to run Debian on the eee, as 
well.  So I found EeePC/HowTo/Install on the wiki and used the custom installer 
to install Lenny, as was suggested.  The wiki seemed to suggest that I might 
have better luck getting wireless to work with a newer kernel, so I did an 
immediate upgrade to Sqeeze.  Almost everything installed.  I got an error 
saying that hal could not be configured unless udev was upgraded, and udev 
could not be upgraded without a more recent kernel than the 2.6.26 that was in 
Lenny.  Since I specifically wanted a newer kernel, this did not worry me, but 
I am having no luck installing the kernel.  The most recent kernel that I could 
find in Squeeze was 2.6.32-3 so I tried to install it and got pretty much the 
same error as when I did the upgrade.  It said to upgrade the kernel before, or 
at the same time as udev, so I attempted to install all three: hal, udev and 
the kernel at the same time.  I
 used the command:

   aptitude install hal udev linux-image-2.6.32-3-686


Your computer has to be running the more current kernel before udev updates .. reboot into the newer kernel and finish (aptitude full-upgrade).
