The function keys work out-of-box for nearly everything that I've tried. However, the orange LED hardware switch on the front to toggle the wireless card does not work. This can be fixed using "acerhk". I compiled "acerhk" from source. Here is my DEB file, which worked fine for me.
In the terminal, type
wget http://www.dhost.info/zachstruck/bin/acerhk_0.5.34-1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i acerhk*.deb
|
To activate the orange LED wireless switch, in the terminal, type
sudo modprobe acerhk sudo echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled |
Open up gedit to add the options for ipw2200, in the terminal, type
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200
|
And using gedit, add to the file
options ipw2200 led=1
|
Ubuntu will need to be restarted.
Or, you could reload the ipw2200 module.
In the terminal, type
sudo modprobe -r ipw2200 && sudo modprobe ipw2200
