Acer Aspire One
Hello everyone, this is my first post. If there are any issues with it, please let me know and I will learn and correct future posts accordingly.
I am currently attempting to run BT3 USB distro.
This is what I have tried, using the information I obtained from various posts. This should describe my problem pretty clearly.
bt ~ # wlanconfig
usage: wlanconfig athX create [nounit] wlandev wifiY
wlanmode [sta|adhoc|ap|monitor|wds|ahdemo] [uniquebssid]
usage: wlanconfig athX destroy
usage: wlanconfig athX list
[active|ap|caps|chan|freq|keys|scan|sta|wme]
bt ~ # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
bt ~ # kismet -c madwifi_g
Launching kismet_server: /usr/local/bin/kismet_server
Suid priv-dropping disabled. This may not be secure.
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Non-RFMon VAPs will be destroyed on multi-vap interfaces
(ie, madwifi-ng)
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
FATAL: Illegal card source line 'madwifi_g'
Done.
bt ~ # kismet -c wifi0
Launching kismet_server: /usr/local/bin/kismet_server
Suid priv-dropping disabled. This may not be secure.
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.

FATAL: Illegal card source line 'wifi0'
Done.

When I attempt opening system>>>system information>>>network interfaces, I am returned with the following output:
Name IP Address Network Mask Type State HWaddr
lo 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 Loopback Up 00:00:00:00:00:00
KWifi Manager shows 'No Interface'
System>>>Settings>>>Internet and Network>>>Wireless Network
immediately pops up 'Unable to autodetect wireless interface
My touchpad also does not work, but that is /minor/ in comparison to the wireless network card not working. For those not familiar with the Acer Aspire One, here are the spec's:
Intel Atom 1.05GHz
1GB RAM
Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adaptor
Windows XP is the standard OS
Based on all of this, even if I can get a fix, rebooting will null all the work I have done. I will continue to search for an answer, but the only option may be somehow partioning my HD and installing BT with a dual boot.
Thanks in advance!

OP: Any reason you're not using BT4 instead of BT3? Reason I ask is that I have an Acer Aspire One, and BT4 on a USB worked fine "out of the box".
Thanks for the idea. I went ahead and partitioned my thumbdrive to a persistent BT4 distro. Touchpad works, but still no lo or wifi.Originally Posted by cybrsnpr
iwconfig returns the following:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wifi0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 returns data, but that is not quite what I'm looking for.
This was exactly right. For all others who get an Acer Aspire One in the future:
To configure your wireless, do the following:
airmon-ng
Stop all athX devices, leaving only eth0 lo and wifi0.
Then, if you choose to modify your connection properities, ie, MAC address, do so to wifi0.
airmon-ng start wifi0
^^^^the above will create an athX connection, whose parent is wifi0, carrying over the changes made.
airodump-ng athX
^^^^the above will show all potential connections within range of your laptop.
I hope this was helpful to anyone in the future who invests in the Acer Aspire One.
