    Sweet success! I was having trouble with the madwifi install on my compaq c700 (which was working fine before ibex). Your directions were prefect. Many thanx!

    Wink Re: Intrepid on a Acer Aspire One

    I just wanna share one more tweak that i have done to my aspire one. Adding "elevator=deadline loglevel=1 console=tty1 nolapic_timer" to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst made my system a lot more responsiveness.
    I got these options from the menu.lst that cames with Linpus.

    Go back to page one and read Drano's post.

    Please don't tease me with your Acer Aspires...I want one so badly too...

    I am stuck at the first stage - where do I get the software from?

    3-installed madwifi-tools
    4-add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.
    blacklist ath_pci
    5-add the following to /etc/rc.local.
    modprobe ath5k

    reboot and you will the wlan0 interface...
    #1 You said you've just installed 8.10 so I'm assuming it is already in the last stage of alpha (ibex alpha6).

    #2 Go to Applications>>System>>Updates (I'm on xubuntu so try to adjust to your ubuntu)

    #3 Open a terminal and:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools
    #4 On the same terminal after the install
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
    On the last line, add
    Code:
    blacklist ath_pci
    and press save

    #5 Terminal
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
    And add to the last line
    Code:
    modprobe ath5k

    If anything is wrong here, please feel free to correct me.

    Thanks for your help with this - how would I check what I am running? I did the download and install yesterday so assumed I was running the most update.
