I'm new to Debian, over from Ubuntu. Wireless on the AA1 does not pick up my router. Any advice? TIA

I see in http://www.sudhian.com/index.php?/forums/viewthread/104489/
after googling for Acer+Aspire+One+debian wireless

Now wireless does�nt seem to work out of the box so you need to:

Make sure that non-free and contrib are selected in the package list.

Open a terminal and type the following:

#su
#(Your root password)

# apt-get update
# apt-get install build-essential module-assistant madwifi-source
# m-a prepare
# m-a auto-install madwifi

WIRELESS LED:

To get your awesome wireless led to blink for you based on traffic, put
these lines in /etc/rc.local, just above the string exit 0 (below
doesn�t work).

#su
#(your root password)

now choose your editor of choice, i prefer gedit so I type the following

#gedit /etc/rc.local

Now add the following two lines above (exit 0)

sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledpin=3 (For it to be a constant light change
it to �-3")
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.softled=1

Now for the wifi kill switch uses these keycodes (also to use in rc.local):

/usr/bin/setkeycodes e055 159
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e056 158
....

At least for the older AAO models like the 110 I'd recommend to use the
2.6.32 kernel from backports.org. The ath5k driver is much more stable
for me. Beside that you'll need the acpid from backports.org aswell.

I'm quiet sure. I was reading that page when I clicked on said link... same exact page opened in another tab. Quite a few options, none of which are clearly the right one. I do know I want to stick with "stable" Debian, which cuts things down a bit. Backports, the more I read the less I like that idea.

This is all new to me, so I haven't figured out how to search archives. I only just found out archives exist.

I don't know how, but I was not receiving any replies. I only started seeing replies when I started the thread before this one.
