Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Have you tried to see if the bug is still present in Jaunty? There have been repeated reports of the Atheros wireless card in the Acer not working because not supported. However it is now supported on jaunty. If you haven't done yet, I strongly recommend you to upgrade to Jaunty.
