Here's what I found on the Madwifi compatibility page:
Ah, you didn't find a listing for AMBIT Microsystem Corp. That means,
to me, that it is not compatible with madwifi. If it was, AMBIT would
have be listed there.
Google for AMBIT Microsystem Corp and see if they have any info on that
card.
Contact Acer and ask them for information on that card.
Did you Acer come with WindBloz or Linux installed?
If it came with WindBloz did it include a CD with software for that
card? Does it have any software for that card installed? Did the card
work in WindBloz? If you have WindBloz software for it you might get it
working using the ndiswrapper package.
If it came with linux installed contact Acer for information on getting
it working.
<-- Snip info about AR5005G which may or may not apply -->
Acer calls this 802.11b/g Wireless LAN. I assume that is the wireless
adapter. Is it something else. Sorry to be ignorant. I have never used wifi
before as you can see.
No problem. I have been there too. I spent 2 months researching Wifi
cards and adapters before I even thought about buying one. My first
priority was 'does it work with Linux'. I now have 8 pcmcia/usb Wifi
working with Linux and one WindBloz pcmcia card on a Laptop my Son gave
me. Guess which ones I use. :-)
Sorry I wasn't able to help you get it running.
Good luck!
