My Acer Aspire One – powered by a commercial Linux distro called Linpus – after entering sleep mode couldn’t connect to the wireless network anymore. The wireless connection logo vanished, turning the wifi switch on/off didn’t work either, as was useless try to launch the Network Center. If you got a similar problem, read below.
Hi Kit, Linpus is not my cup of tea too. So said, I believe that the casual buyer will hardly reinstall another Linux distro even if it is likely much more up-to-date.
Technical articles now, Roberto? I’m proud of you! 🙂
Ciao Josef! Glad you appreciate this, usually I refrain from writing technical stuff because is pretty out of the scope of my blog. So said, time by time I enjoy making exceptions, though.
Thanks you shared!
And I think you should come up with more such stuff. Network troubles are very common so any help is appreciated.

I didn’t have any patience for Linpus. Ubuntu UNR as the regular desktop version work much better on the AA1. I also gave Moblin a shot, was gross. But, I found that Ubuntu handles all the AA1-stuff nicely – including the fan, and wireless controls.
