Linux drivers ACER Travelmate 2310 laptop.

[Bas Roufs]

Hello again

Today, I finally managed to install Kubuntu 7.10 at my laptop: an ACER 
Travelmate 2310. When booting and accessing the laptop for the first 
time after installation (and after fixing the password problem), I saw a 
message on a few drivers necessary for the operation of Kubuntu on this 
laptop. There were only drivers available from the manufacturer, I read 
-  not open source drivers that can all the time be bettered, security 
fixed, etc. One of these 2 drivers that have been mentioned, was a 
'modem driver'.
However, I do not manage to get back the exact text of that message; 
this complicates my attempts  to properly handle this problem.

When looking at the ACER website and giving in "Travelmate 2310" in the 
search window, I can only find Windows XP drivers for some specific 
functions of that laptop. Do you have any clue how I could get Linux 
equivalents?

I am looking forward to a few answers from you. Thanks in advance.

Bas.
