There's no good reason to try to put Mac OS X (Tiger or Leopard) on your Asus Eee PC. I spent days hacking and tweaking ISOs, burning, testing, and poking at a variety of drivers and there are two things I could not overcome. Look at the pictures.

Mac OS X on the Asus Eee: Don't Bother

How fast is the system? I guess it is really slugish...
How come the wifi is not recognized? Is the EeePC using a weird WLan adaptor?
did you try this? this is supposed to be the kext for this wifi chipset.

It's too slow to even consider getting down and dirty with kexts, even when upgraded to 2GB RAM.
I tried installing OSX on my Eee as well... The installation hung part way through and I gave up!
Could have been a bad ISO file, but based on my past experience installing OSX on other sub-notebooks, and knowing WiFi was not supported I decided to stop wasting my time :)
Should try the gOS as the interface looks almost the same. Have you tried gOS yet?
You can get the WiFi to work with a Dell 1390 card (20 dollars on ebay) and the ethernet with the Macbook Air USB Ethernet adapter. That's how I do it.
