If it came with WindBloz did it include a CD with software for that

working using the ndiswrapper package.
Hi again Wayne,
On the Acer website they do have the Windows XP driver for the Aspire
3500. It's called Atheros Wireless LAN B+G Driver 4.0.0.14001. I can give
it a try with ndiswrapper.
Cheers,

Sure you can. Get that and the ndiswrapper (which I have not used) and
go for it!!
Good Find Jonathan!!

More info:
1. dmesg results seem to be good:
[ 14.270854] ndiswrapper version 1.53 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
[ 14.358992] ndiswrapper: driver net5211 (,11/15/2006,5.1.1.9) loaded

2. ifconfig seems more like you described. Entries only for eth0, lo and
wlan0. wlan0 looks like this:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0e:9b:cf:bc:0c
