[clug] Re: Aspire One wireless issues on Kubuntu 8.04.1

[Tim Murphy]

Nevermind, I found the solution at 
http://coolhake.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/install-ubuntu-hardy-heron-8041-on-the-acer-aspire-one/

(from the page)

Every time there is a kernel update you will need to perform the following 
steps to make the wireless work. Go to the directory 
(madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3835-20080801) and run:

make clean
make
sudo make install
