Hey Leann -- I was testing karmic and I have that mouse, so I downloaded the 3 debs you have above http://people.canonical.com/~ogasawara/lp428111/

Installed them on a eeepc 1005ha that was running karmic alpha 6, and the apple wireless mighty mouse began working. All the buttons and horizontal and vertical scroll -- cool!

I had to fiddle around a bit to get it to boot the right kernel.

In installed the kernel essentially with "dpkg -i *.deb". Just rebooting at that point gave uname -a of 2.6.21.10-generic #34 which I think is the alpha 6 one, and in any case the mouse continued to connect but not work in any way.

However, if at boot I manually 2.6.31-10-386 then uname -a is 2.6.31-10-386 #35+lp428111v1 which is what you supplied, and the mouse then works. I thought that dpkg -i would make it boot that kernel, but obviously there's some detail of kernel selection that I'm not understanding. Anyway, thanks it looks perfect on this machine.

Cheers,

Nick
