Discussing the installation of eComStation on Acer

[url]

In the end I exchanged the atheros wlan against intel 3945 abg [8086:4222]. It works great with xwlan 2.13. (Xwlan 3.x gives you a very weak signal so I din't think the card worked at first.) Exchanging card is quite easy with instructions on video: [url]

With xwlan 2.13 you lose the WPA possibility but thats overweighed by the great functionality.

UPDATE:

I seem to have been just to positive. There is dropouts also with this card!! There is a longer "uptime" than with atheros but also a bit longer "down" time.

Seems not to be so bad anyway..see [url]

Everything wors now - with xwlan 3.10
