Acer Aspire One with AMD C50 - no internet connection or audio available

Just wondering if anyone can help or provide some guidance.

I recently purchased the latest Acer netbook with the AMD C50 chip and have two issues while running under TC3.5. The issues are;

1) No access to wired and wireless internet
I used ifconfig and I got a block of text for "dummy0" and another block of text for "lo". No info for atho or eth0 was returned. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get the cards recognized. Perhaps an updated driver is required?

2) No sound
I used VLC to watch a movie and all I got back was the video with no audio. I did have OSS installed. VLC did give me a warning message stating that if I were to update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f that it may help with the audio issue.

Perhaps there are no Linux drivers for these items yet?

Any solution to address these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What wired and wireless network hardware do you have?

rizzim3:
I believe I have the following:

1) Wired - Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0
2) Wifi - Broadcom Corporation BCM4313

You'll probably need to double-check on http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

..but, either the b43 or the wl modules should work and failing that ndiswrapper.

There are plently of posts on these forums about getting broadcom wifi to work.

Thanks for the info. I tried the ndiswrapper method but without any success. I will try once again. If it doesn't work then I will wait for the next release of TC which I hope will have the correct drivers for my wired/wireless device.

I really enjoy working with TC (just started with Linux last week) but I do need access to the internet. So, it's back to Windows until I can resolve these network access issues.

Thanks again for your help...
