Hi, I just my hands on an Acer AspireOne. I've installed openSUSE 11.0 on it. All work well expect the wireless card. I've installed wifi ( its an Atheros card AR242x witch uses the ath5k kernel module ). The card appears as wlan0 and wmaster0. I try to connect it with NetworkManager but no luck it does not connect. Bellow is the NetworkManager log: Jul 25 16:45:03 aspireone NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) starting connection 'R&D' Jul 25 16:45:03 aspireone NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 3 -> 4 Jul 25 16:45:03 aspireone NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...
