Your wireless should be using the ath9k driver. It has been included in the kernel since version 2.6.29. Since you are using version 2.6.28, it isn't properly recognizing your wireless card.

Your options:

Connect to the internet with a wired connection, and update the system. This should give a newer kernel with a newer ath9k driver. Then reboot to boot into the newer kernel.

Download the driver source and compile it. This would be more difficult, as I doubt that eeebuntu has the applications needed to do this. They would first need to be installed, either by DVD or internet.

Download - Linux Wireless

Install a newer version of eeebuntu. It is now called AuroraOS, and should have a newer kernel right off the bat.
