David, We're seeing these machines either not switching WLANs when you tell them, or taking forever to accept a DHCP address. At least on one machine, going to a USB NIC takes all the goofiness away.
We've had three incidents reported in the last two days, and my own Aspire One ZG5 with Atheros AR5BXB63 is really fussy. Others cited: AOA150 with an Atheros AR5007EG and AOD250, same WLAN NIC. -Lee ________________________________ From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:wireless-...@listserv.educause.edu] On Behalf Of David Gillett Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 11:35 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Acer Netbooks- Issues? I have an Acer Netbook -- the built-in 802.11n was one of the attractions -- and have not seen any issues using it with our Aruba WLAN. Is there something specific I should check for?

Seem like the Acer Netbook might be following Apple's lead for being a bit of a pain on wireless. Is any one else seeing any issues with the Netbook? Seems to be older and newer models alike. -Lee ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
