Seems to be up and running. If you run:

sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|chan'

What is the output?

Your wireless adapter seems to be working fine and can detect several access points nearby.

In order to avoid wireless interference from the other wireless access points in your vicinity, I suggest logging into the homepage of your wireless router (MyPlace) and changing the wireless transmission channel to channel 8.

Then retest wireless.

If it still does not work after changing channels, please clearly explain what the real problem is.

Stating "enabling wireless" does not help when we see that your wireless adapter is already active and detecting access points.....

Sorry I did not have get the subject right, but it was not a hardware problem that brought me here.

So, okay, i logged in the fonera, and changed the channel from Automatic to 8. I did yhat with the smart phone. I removed the SSID from the phone and rebooted it. The SSID does not show up anymore. (Hence no more Wifi on he phone)

No I rebooted EeePC.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ASUS_Eee_PC_1000HE#WiFi says it should work ouof the box, but nothing happened

Maybe you can tell me now how can put the driver in the right place, so, that the access point can be used with ubuntu. I have the feeeling I still need to restart some ask or apt-get something or autoconfigre this or that.

There should not be the need for another driver. The output confirms that the WLAN device is operational, and that it can detect your network.

After having reconfigured your router to use channel 8, what is now the output of

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | egrep -i 'ssid|chan'
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan MyPlace
sudo iwconfig

Helllo Manfred, this what I did, in the first place.

While trying to install audio, not nessesary after all , i followed some tip (stacktrace/ubuntuforums?) to remove many things, that also removed the applet for network connections, i misses that applet afterwords, i knew had been there.
I may have brought a solution. I was not a very good advice...

I could not stand that the channel change did not motivate my android 2.3 phone.

So now, I reset the fonera, and installed again, from mini.iso, b-e-c-a-u-s-e the install procedure lets you choose the primary network connection, including wireless, so I choose that, instead of the wired connection.
 It asks for SSID protocol and secret, so it should be there and it actually is now.

So this answer comes to you wireless, from my end.
solved i guess, maybe lubuntu should give me more core tools for this, or. , what does that installation step do, it's some command surely.
