http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/acer-travelmate-291lci-funknetzwerk-nicht-akti/2/#post-2670605
# install ubuntu 10.04, then follow these steps:
add-apt-repository ppa:gruenertee/acerhk
apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential acerhk-source
tar -xvjf acerhk.tar.bz2
vim /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Makefile
# look for this near line 564:
ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
# KBUILD_CFLAGS += -pg <------ comment this line
endif
cd /usr/src/modules/acerhk
make
cp -v acerhk.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/ubuntu/
depmod -a
# a good idea is to look at the log files in a second terminal during next step:
find /var/log -type f | grep -v -e ".gz$" -e ".[0-9]*$" | xargs tail -fqn
# enable wifi module
modprobe acerhk force_series=290 usedritek=1 verbose=1
