Acer Aspire one 250 wireless

[myrainmann]

yeah installed packages the ones with the X I uninstalled acts like I do not have wireless does not even show it at all its kinda crazy. If I load windows also on same computer it works fine frustrating I must have did something I guess. when I go to network management under system settings it has wireless greyed out like it does not have any.

well the last option that I can see here with all the problems with this card,
you will have to compile the driver !

the Driver:
http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx

Then:

Code: Select all

tar -xzvf AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz
cd src
make
sudo make install
sudo insmod atl1e.ko

(the last two steps must be redone if you do a kernel upgrade)

The wireless network starts working by installing the

linux-backports-modules-jaunty

package. That is, with the wired network, do:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty

Edit the

/usr/share/themes/Human-Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

file and add, after the initial commentaries (or anywhere else):

gtk-icon-sizes="panel-menu=16,16:gtk-menu=16,16:gtk-button=16,16:gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:gtk-dialog=16,16:gtk-dnd=16,16"

so as you can see there is no easy way here sorry.
it is bug that has not fix yet.
That is kind of working around.
