Linux Drivers for Acer?
Hi, Is there any site where one can download Linux drivers for Acer , and then install them.
My wireless and sound card seem to be giving me a problem (Acer 5570Z).
I have installed OpenSuse 10.3 but i may switch distro’s as well
Windows boot loader problem?
Since my acer timeline doesn’t have a cd/dvd drive I extracted opensuse iso and tried to install suse within windows vista but didn’t work when i rebooted the laptop. I chose install open suse but it didn’t work so I deleted it, but it still appears on windows boot loader!
how do I get rid of it, so that vista boots automaticly?
Its called “opensuse 11.1 installer (local)” but it doesn’t show up in the software Ben suggested

How to share a USB HSDPA internet connection via wireless AP?
So here’s what I’m trying to do. My internet connection is via a T-Mobile branded 3G/4G USB modem which works fine. At the moment it is connected to an old ASUS laptop (running XP SP3) that does not have a built in wireless adapter. I also have an AirLive WLA-5200AP wireless access point (specs here; http://www.airlive.com/product/product_2.jsp?pcid=PC1214554004088). What I want to know is how to share the laptop’s internet access via the wireless ap. Is such a thing even possible? The other computers I want to share with are an Acer Aspire One (XP), an Asus Eee (Debian) and MacBook (OS 10.5)
I’m generally fairly good with computers but what I know about networking and specifically wireless networking, could be written on the back of stamp.
Any help much appreciated.

Fedora Core 6 on Acer Aspire 6410 Network Card?
I just installed fedora core 6 on my Aspire 6410 and it somehow did not pick up any network cards on the laptop…wireless (although I expected that) or Ethernet. I have never ran into this problem before with fedora… Please Help.
PS The ethernet card does work when I boot it under windows.
