Re: Is anybody Running Debian on Acer Aspire E5-571G

It sure is, and Acer Aspire computers generally are cut down AMD Athelon 
x64 clones.  I proved this since I also have a real AMD K8 Athelon 
computer vintage 1994 that is still running (how old does it have to get 
before the Smithsonian Museum gets interested) and I have the distro 
from http://talkingarch.tk/ installed on the K8 and the Aspire 5003.  I 
ran netctl's wifi-menu -o command to find local wifi connections with 
both machines.  The AMD K8 had no problems.  The Acer Aspire returned an 
error of no valid interface and this was with the same cable and wifi 
adapter plugged into each machine.
