using madwifi v0.9.4
According to the owner's manual, it has a "WLAN: Acer InviLink(tm)
802.11b/g Wi-Fi CERTIFIED(tm) solution, supporting Acer SignalUp(tm)
wireless technology." So obviously Acer doesn't want to tell me that
there is an Atheros chip in there. Ironically, the Atheros wifi card is
one of the main things that persuaded me to go with this laptop instead of
another brand.
If you need any additional info, let me know. If anyone knows what file
needs hacked for this issue, let me know and I'll tale a stab at it. To
me, the issue looks like this particular card/chipset just isn't
supported.
