wireless problem all lost

Postby Frits » Mon Jul 28, 2008 5:27 pm

Hello, here's a new user from the Netherlands.
Love the small thing!!!
Only, after i switched the One on for the first time i saw trough the internetconnect icon on the bottom right several wireless networks in my neighbourhood. After i applied the Live updates i lost the list off networks. I still can connect through cabel. Also, when i use the switch on the front to activate the wireless mode, the icon appears in my screen, but i can't see the networks. Also the led isn't burning anymore.
Anyone a solution???

I did the recovery thing, but it didn't work.
I still can use cable, but don't see any wireless networks..... :(

The system detects the atheros card.
But when i use the switch, only the icon appears in the screen, but nothing happens.
Also the led indicator doesn't burn any more..

So all in all, it won't work.
Cable still works fine though.

I really think it is a Linpus problem, because when i bought the One, it worked fine, but after aplying the updates with Live update, it is gone.
I did the recovery thing, but it didn't worked.
I am thinking of using another OS, like Ubuntu or Puppy Linux or something like that.
Problem is that my kids are also using the One, so the simple principle of Linpus appeals to them.

Still hoping someone knows how to fix it.

I had the same problem and got an answer from Acer to re-install from the recovery disc. Full story is here:

i used the recovery disk, but i won't work.....i did it three times.
still can use cable, but the wireless is gone, everything.
No tray icon, no led burning. when i use the switch the on screen icon apears, that's all, nothing happens.

So, come on Linpus or Acer, fix it.
