Yes, and success! I have an Acer also but it uses the b43 driver. Since
the gui tools locked up I went back to drakconnect and tried to
configure the wireless interface. It required firmware files but I
installed them using my key drive the same way I installed the kernel
firmware package. After I successfully installed the firmware the system
boots normally and both NICs work.
Is this a known bug? If not, what package should I file a bug report
against?
Thanks for all your efforts!
