Acer wireless is not working
I have Ubuntu 12.04 on my Acer Travelmate 2300, and I can't enable wireless or use the wireless switch. Does anyone know how to turn on wifi on an Acer Travelmate 2300 using Ubuntu 12.04?
This is the first time I've tried to use Linux. I've always used Windows.

Can you connect to Internet via ethernet?
If yes, do so and go to dash and type Additional Drivers
This should open a window and hopefully you will find your Wireless card drivers listed
Click Activate and you are good to go
The window should look like this

Download the windows driver to your desktop:
winxp.zip
Then:
Right click on the driver and select extract here. Open a terminal and do:
sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
sudo ndisgtk
A window will open, point to Desktop > Winxp > neti2220.inf. Your wireless should turn on.

You have to use ndiwrapper to get your device to work there is no native support for your wifi card in linux.
Download the windows driver to your desktop:
winxp.zip
Then:
Right click on the driver and select extract here. Open a terminal and do:
sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
sudo ndisgtk
A window will open, point to Desktop > Winxp > neti2220.inf. Your wireless should turn on.
