Hi I hope someone can help. I have an acer aspireone 150 that has extreme troubles with wireless. I have tried everything from wicd to ndiswrapper to madwifi with no luck. I even got a new bios and tried recompiling a tarball, which gave a make error 2
I am at my wits end with this and am ready to throw this thing in the trash.
Any help with the atheros wifi card would be helpful.
Thanks alot.
