Picked up an Acer Aspire One 110, and have Ubuntu 8.10 installed. According to every post I've read, after the initial install, I should see Atheros drivers in the Hardware drivers. I see nothing. Also, most also say that I should have an Atheros AR242x chip inside my little laptop. The sticker on the bottom says: Atheros AR5BXB63. I can't get the wireless to work at all. I've googled for the chip as stated on the bottom, and those instructions don't work. I've tried the instructions that are in the Aspire 110L guide, and with both the ath5k and the madwifi, I get nothing. Any help is appreciated.
