I had the same problem on my 701, and found the answer on the eeeuser.com wiki... It appears that the wifi does not work after 8.04.1 install... I will now quote the information that I found on that site...
Open a terminal window (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and enter the following commands:

tar zxvf madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz
cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-*/ (updated command; original did not append /)
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot
