Hi all,<br><br>I have installed ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 5610Z and I can't get the WLAN to work. Under the drivers section Ubuntu has installed <i>support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards</i>. I dont know if thats the card i have or not but it doesnt work. Also if I try add a wireless connection under <i>network connections</i> It deativates the OK button so I cant save any settings which is weird. <br>
<br>I've looked through some of the forums but unfortunately to be honest I dont fully understand the solutions posted. For example a lot of them require me to download stuff using get_apt or wget which obviuosly dont work because I cant connect. <br>
<br>Any help will be appreciated but please try make it simple as I'm quite new to linux.<br><br>Thanks<br>
</blockquote><div>Hi Daniel.<br><br>What version of Ubuntu do you have on your Acer? I recently installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an AspireOne for a client and it worked perfectly.<br><br>Maybe you should try that. Since the Netbook remix is a largish ISO I could provide you with it if you are in Pretoria. I will also be glad to help you install, since netbook remix involves making a bootable USB drive and booting from that.<br>
<br>(Now I just have to make double sure that I have the ISO on my home comp... teehee I think I do.)<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
