Fred, I have an acer aspire one too, the wifi works fine, Network manager just keeps trying to connect to a wired network even if there isnt one there. I use WICD which gives up after one attempt at the wired and then connets to the regular wireless network. If that doesnt help, try these instructions to get wifi working again. http://madberry.org/2008/11/how-to-get-atheros-ar242x-to-work-on-810-intrepid-ibex/
