I just installed iatkos on my lenovo 3000 n100 last week and it worked like a charm, so now my friend and i are trying to install the same distro (iatkos v7) onto his computer, which is an acer aspire 5810tz. Everything is working on the computer with the exception of the network and graphics card. I will figure out what to do with the graphics card, but first i need to get his computer connected to the internet.

 

Wireless Lan:

Atheros AR5B91 Wireless Network Adapter

Lan:

Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller

 

I have also read that people are always having trouble with these atheros cards, and many have replaced them with usb wireless or broadcom cards (i know that will work since that worked on my lenovo). But he doesn't want to have to go spend 30 bucks on a usb or broadcom.
