Hello folks,
Thanks to a previous thread in hardware i was able to get to drivers for this pc, see here: http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/756433-trouble-acer-drivers.html
Im mainly concerned over the wireless lan driver. I have ubuntu installed on the pc (owner decided they wanted linux instead of windows where the card worked fine) and with ndiswrapper i was able to install the inf file for the card. Now my problem is that ubuntu does not seem to list the card under the wireless connection section of the top menubar. I can connect to the network perfectly fine over wired ethernet but the wifi just wont cooperate. Could it be that i have a uk driver on a us system??? Im stumped at what i should do next. After installing the driver i rebooted just to be sure it was not that and still, no wireless card is being shown although linux recognizes the pc has the hardware installed. Thanks for any help in advance
