You WILL loose everything that’s stored on the hard drive ** I guess if you go by this option, it goes automaticly for the usb pen? So i'm booting & runnin kubuntu from my pen ? step 7 **Choose “Guided – use entire disk” unless you don’t want to and you know what you’re doing.

I guess if you go by this option, it goes automaticly for the usb pen? So i’m booting & runnin kubuntu from my pen ?

I would make sure all possible DNS configurations are addressed. Can you ping an IP or a URL what about127.0.0.1? Sounds like a DNS issue.

The wireless card in both appears to be working fine. Wireless Assistant at work with one device and at home with another 'sees' wireless networks available. If I try to connect to a closed network at work without a password, it fails to connect (as you'd expect). If I try to connect to an open network it connects fine and ifconfig confirms that an address has been assigned. However, I can't surf the Web. At home (with a different Aspire One) the situation is exactly the same as above, except that here I have control over the network. If I lock the network I can't connect, even though I obviously have the password and can try different security arrangements. If I disable security altogether, it connects first time, but then as above I can't surf the Web. Wired networking is fine for both devices on a corporate network and a home network. Any ideas before I bite the bullet and return the devices to Uninspire? MATT. I’ve reached the same impasse with 2 Aspire One devices after following these excellent instructions.

Everything works fine except for WiFi. Hardware drivers manager shows Atheros HAL In Use, plus support for Atheros 802.11 Wireless LAN cards, also In Use. However, Network Settings shows only one network interface eth0. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Kevin Followed instructions to the letter. Everything works fine except for WiFi.

Kubuntu 8.04 runs perfect!! I had some problems bringing up the wifi manager, but with "Wicd" is more easy than any other wifi manager. Great work and thanks for the instructions!!
