error: "dev.wifi0.ledpin" on Acer Aspire One

[Andy Boersma]

Hi Victor,

I installed 8.10 without any issues.

I would say that its actually faster then 8.04 and works smoother.

I would suggest that you upgrade to 8.10 and used the atk driver.

I even got google earth installed and running on it.
