Which driver(s) are you trying to use with it? If I'm thinking clearly, 
those have a bcm43xx 802.11b/g chip, which may or may not be supported 
by the b43 driver (with firmware extracted via b43-fwcutter), and should 
also be supported by broadcom's hybrid-wl driver. JABR mentioned having 
issues getting b43 working with his 10" Acer Aspire One too, I'm 
guessing its the same chip...
