nu heb ik eindelijk ubuntu geinstalleerd, echter krijg ik mijn wireless nog niet aan de praat helaas
volgens mij doe ik iets verkeerd maar ik weet niet wat ik volg nu deze handleiding:

Thanks to Spif for posting a similar guide for Ubuntu Linux 4.10 ("The Warty Warthog") here.
Important: Apparently when upgrading the bios to version 1.40 the installation of acerhk is not necessary for the wireless adapter to work. You can download drivers from the Zepto Computer FTP server. Feel free to try it and report back to me. Thanks to Elimelech Berlin for the tip.
1.
Before you start make sure you have the appropriate linux headers installed for your kernel. If you're not sure which kernel you're currently using open a console and type:
$ uname -r
The kernel version number will appear. For example, if you have the kernel 2.6.10-5-686 you will need the package linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686
2.
Later you'll need components from the build-essential package. If the package is not already installed, do so:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
3.
Ubuntu Linux comes with the needed drivers for the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG 802.11 B/G WiFi. The next thing you need to do is activation of the network card (making the switch work).
Download the Acer Hotkey driver from here. This guide will assume that you're using version 0.5.22.
4.
Open a console, find your download path and type:
$ sudo mv acerhk-0.5.22.tgz /usr/src/
$ cd /usr/src/
$ sudo tar zxf acerhk-0.5.22.tgz
Go to the newly unpacked folder:
$ cd acerhk-0.5.22
Use make (as previous) to test whether there will be any errors compiling it. If no errors occur, type:
$ sudo make install
5.
Load the module by typing these commands in a console:
* For users of version 0.5.22 or newer:
$ sudo modprobe acerhk
$ echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
* For users of an older version of acerhk:
$ sudo modprobe acerhk usedritek=1 autowlan=1 force_series=290
$ echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
6.
When you have all of the above working you can make your life easier by doing the following. Open a console and type:
$ sudo gedit /etc/modules
Enter the following into the file:
* For version 0.5.22 of acerhk: "acerhk" (without the "")
*
For an older version of acerhk: "acerhk usedritek=1 autowlan=1 force_series=290" (without the "" and in one line)
7.
Now when you reboot the computer you just need to type:
$ echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
to start your Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG 802.11 B/G WiFi. You might need to play around with the network settings: System -> Administration -> Networking.
8.
To avoid having to type the above everytime you boot the computer do the following:
*
First make sure that the wireless card (eth1) is added to the interfaces list in /etc/network/interfaces - if this is not the case activate it (System -> Administration -> Networking). It should look something like this:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth0
# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth1
*
Type the following in a console:
$ sudo gedit /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools
and add the echo command to the file. The wireless-tools file should now loke something like this:
#!/bin/sh
echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
IWCONFIG=/sbin/iwconfig
if [ ! -x $IWCONFIG ]; then
exit 0
fi

Thanks to Kristian Vedvik Holm for helping me with the above.alles gaat goed tot ik bij punt 4 dot 3 kom
$ sudo mv acerhk-0.5.22.tgz /usr/src/
$ cd /usr/src/
$ sudo tar zxf acerhk-0.5.22.tgzbij $ sudo tar zxf acerhk-0.5.22.tgz krijg ik de colgende foutmelding
melvin@melvin-laptop:/usr/src$ sudo tar zxf acerhk-0.5.22.tgz
tar: acerhk-0.5.22.tgz: Functie open() is mislukt: Bestand of map bestaat niet
tar: Fout is niet herstelbaar -- tar sluit nu af.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Uitgestelde afbreking na eerdere fouten
hoe kan ik dit verhelpen?
met vriendelijke groeten,
