I bought two TRENDnet TEW-644UB wireless N adaptors from amazon, they were on sale for around $20 per card. Gave one to my mom, and was going to give the other one to sister, not sure if she wants it, so I tried it on Acer Aspire One, and after doing dmesg, it said something about RaLink, searched google for “linux tew-644ub” and found that it uses the rt2870 module, which can be installed using yum in fedora. Still using the card works great in linux, can suspend and it’ll work after resuming too, haven’t had any problems with it yet..
lsusb info for wireless card:
ID 148f:2770 Ralink Technology, Corp.

Update
You can get ubuntu or better xubuntu working very easily with a custom kernel from aspireonekernel.com. Xubuntu will obviously be faster on the aspire one. No need to wait for kuki linux if you don’t want to.
Update
Now using Fedora 10 xfce spin off, much faster then gnome version.
Went to distrowatch.com today, to see what new linux distros are available, and Fedora 10 is out. Went to google, searched, and found this blog post, that says everything pretty much works out of the box. Will update this post after I install it. Still downloading.
Update
Tried copying the ISO to thumbdrive using unetbootin, didn’t work. It starts booting, then at the end it goes to a shell, where it says it can’t find the root filesystem. Now using the official instructions on fedora’s site, to create the bootable thumbdrive.
Update
Installing to hard drive. Wireless works, easy to connect.
