Net de laatste LTS van Ubuntu gedownload. Echter krijg ik nog steeds problemen met het werkend krijgen van m'n wifi.
Het betreft hier een FS amilio2727 met een Atheros ar5001 chip erin.
Nu ben ik een aantal topics hierover tegen gekomen op het ubuntu forum.
onderstaande link schijnt de juiste oplossing te hebben:

Echter deze is nu al erg verouderd. Nu ik dus een grote linux n00b ben, wil ik graag van jullie weten of dit gaat werken of dat er ivm nieuwere versies en nieuwe kernel toch aanpassingen in het verhaal nodig zijn.
1. Make sure your system is up to date, and includes the necessary tools to compile the new kernel modules:
2. Get the patched source:
3. Build the new Madwifi modules, to enable support for the Atheros AR5007EG card:
4. Build the new acerhk module, needed to enable the wireless button on the machine:
5. Create a file containing instructions which the system will carry out when the acerhk module is loaded - see comments in the file:
and paste the following into the file, save and exit
[Code]
# set up kernel module acerhk to enable Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li1718 special keys
# and enable wireless when the module is inserted.
# NOTE: to have the wireless hardware disabled until you press the wireless key on the laptop,
# simply replace "echo 1" with "echo 0" in the command below.
install acerhk /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install acerhk force_series=6805 autowlan=1; echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
6. Remove the acerhk module which is shipped with Ubuntu:
7. Rebuild the module dependencies database
8. Tell the system to load the acerhk module at boot time - it won't otherwise, as it's not actually an Acer laptop!
add on a new line at the end of this file, then save and exit:
9. restart your machine and you should have a working wifi card.

These changes are required for Ubuntu 8.04:
Step 4. Build the new acerhk module, needed to enable the wireless button on the machine:on
On Hardy Heron the acerhk-0.5.35 requires a minor change in the Makefile, otherwise the compilation fails. Open the Makefile and change the first ocurrence of word "CFLAGS" to "EXTRA_CFLAGS" around the line number 17, like this.

I created a patch for it. You can simply do
$ cd acerhk-0.5.35
# Get and apply the patch
$ wget http://www.edbl.no/tmp/acerhk.Makefile.patch
$ patch -p0 < acerhk.Makefile.patch
$ make
$ sudo make install

Step 6. Remove the acerhk module which is shipped with Ubuntu. The kernel name has changed since Ubuntu 7.10. Now you should run this command
$ sudo rm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ubuntu/misc/acerhk.ko

Rest of the Instructions are the same for Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04. AFAIK !
Ik heb bovenstaande nog niet geprobeerd omdat ik (nog) bang ben iets "stuk" te maken.
