There are clones of the AOA150 also affected by this bug. I have
confirmed it kills wifi access using both packard bell and gateway
AOA150 bioses. Gateway's AOA150 has subvendor ID 1025 subsystem ID 015B
and Vendor string "Gateway", and Packard Bell's SVID/SSID is 1631/0193
with vendor string "Packard Bell". The bioses for all these systems are
interchangable and a bunch of people with earlier model Acer AOA150's
are using the other ones in order to have more backlight brightness
levels. It's not that big of a deal because the module does not
automatically load on these bioses but it is still affected by the bug
if manually loaded for some reason. The gateway clone is sold in the US
under the LT model series name. As a side note, this causes all kinds of
havoc to hal keymaps :D
