Hi Jerome,
Well, I tried that and it gave:
"ERROR: AR813x/AR815x not found on slot 0xFF
Driver Init Error"
I dug up the old info I had researched a few months ago on this laptop
(I had given up on this laptop's networking already) and this is an:
"Acer Aspire One ZG5, model number A0A 150 1570" - the sticker on bottom
I found a support manual at:
https://www.s-manuals.com/pdf/notebook/acer/acer_aspire_one_aoa150_service_guide.pdf
and it sayeth the LAN chip is the Realtek RTL8102EL.
The packetdriversdos.net site has an RTEODI.COM which lists the 8102E
but not
the 8102EL. But I'm going to try it. I've never messed with ODI on
FreeDOS, so
this will be yet another fun new bit of trauma to learn from. :-)
I had not run across packetdriversdos.net before (or yet) so thanks for
that!
Here's hoping. I haven't messed with DOS since 1992, aside from some
games on DosBox. I only started playing with FreeDOS a couple of months
ago in QEMU VM's. And then I thought, "Hey, I have a couple of old laptops
in the closet... how hard could it be?" :-D

Your welcome. We found the page about 30 seconds after you left. :-)
If you have the FDNET package installed. You can drop that driver in
the FDNET directory.
In the same directory add a FDNETPD.BAT (or rename the FDNETPD.BA~)
file with the following contents:
@echo off
LH L1CPKT.EXE 0x60
This will prevent you from needing to modify your config/auto files.
FDNET will set this file and automatically start network support.
Also, if the FDNET package is upgraded, those will not be replaced.
Sound on the aspire is very weak. But, VSBHDA will work on it.
https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/VSBHDA
or a package version off my server at:
https://fd.lod.bz/repos/current/pkg-html/vsbhda.html
You will need to change a couple settings for when it starts up.
I was having issues with it. But the developer was kind enough to tell
me how to get it working.
So, I modified it's provided START.BAT with the following:
set blaster=A220 I2 D1 H5 T6
vsbhda /VOL9
But, I don't boot with it automatically running.

Hi Sean,
During the online conference call today, the packet driver for the
Acer Aspire One can be found on this page.
https://packetdriversdos.net/
I forget which actual Atheros File. But the driver is L1CPKT.EXE
:-)
