I hope this is an acceptable place to post this.

I am posting this because it got my wireless working and was extremely easy once I found the information.

I have been going crazy trying to get my wireless working on my Acer Aspire One D-150-1920. I have read info on many sites and tried many things and nothing worked. The I found a post by xtechcode on the Ubuntu forum at....
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1593717 post number 7 and it fixed every thing. If I understand things it removed something that was interfering with my wireless and all the sudden it worked.

What I did was copy each line and paste it into the terminal and when Linux Mint 10 rebooted my wireless worked. These are the lines I copied and pasted....

sudo apt-get --purge remove firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt-get --purge remove dkms
sudo apt-get --purge remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo reboot

Many thanks to xtechcode and the person he said he got it from binarylife for getting me through this.

Good Job, a solved problem is more helpful then an unsolved problem.

Thanks but there may be more to it than I thought. I mean it works but there may be something I did before that which I don't remember doing. I say this because I tried to get my Linux Mint 10 Live USB stick to work with the wireless on my AAO D150-1920 by doing the same things I mentioned and it did not work. I am not concerned other than wanting to know what is going on. Maybe there is something different in using the Live USB stick?????
