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

[Victor Mendonça]

Problem was related to a set of True Type Fonts I installed and was using on my desktop with conky. Disabling connky has fixed the issue.

Thanks Andy! I'll give that a try! It's a new install anyways.

I also did more digging on my logs and it looks like the problem is related to ndiswrapper. Disabling the led options on rc.local also did not solve it.

8.10 here I come!! :)

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.
