HI to all! I had been working around this issue since October 2007, including several distributions and I still, I found the same "solutions". I have an aspire 7520, and I spent a LOT of time trying with madwifi, ndiswrapper, acer_wmi, you name it, and after 6 months, I got my atheros AR 5007 working on hardy. (I followed all the procedures, installing ndiswrapper, blacklisting, installing acer_wmi, dmesg, ..etc). bad, very bad When Ibex came, I tried it, and I had more problems (out of the box) than on hardy, but more important, that still, no wifi. This time, ndiswrapper doesn't work, and I won''t try using also the acer_wmi stuff. So, I will like to know the real status of this issue, at least what options do I have at the moment, if I try again the amd64 dist or the 32bit. If madwifi will work on 64bits or keep trying on ndiswrapper. This is so frustrating that I had been using Vista since October (Ibex release time). Thanks in advance. Best Regards!!! Sebass
