== Current Issues ==
## List any issues you have with the current development release here

=== Video ===

To have correct resolution and 3D acceleration enabled, you must use proprietary drivers by choosing: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and enabling "NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver" option.

=== Audio ===

The internal microphone provided with Crystal Eye webcam is not working neither under Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) nor under currently developed Intrepid.

With old kernel 2.6.24-19 the microphone jack was working, but with kernel 2.6.24-21 it's not working either.

See [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/269294|bug #269294]]

=== Wireless ===

Inegrated ethernet wireless controller (Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg) is not supported by madwifi-hal drivers provided in Ubuntu 8.04.1, you can manually install a newer version as explained on [[http://madwifi.org/ticket/1192|madwifi.org]] to fix this.

Note that in or

You can download latest snapshot of madwifi drivers (0.10.5.6) from [[http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz|here]]. This will give you latest revision available. Tests have been performed with revision 3861, that you can eventually download from [[http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/|here]], but newer revisions should work as well.

Unpack the tar file with sources into a folder called madwifi, open a terminal, cd into the folder you just created and execute following commands (those preceded by # are comments and must not be ignored):

{{{
sudo su

# enter your SU password

# Now let's make sure you have everythign you need to compile the drivers.

apt-get install build-essential perl
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

# disable interfaces

ip addr

# this will list your network interfaces, look for those called ath or wifi

ip link set ath0 down
ip link set wifi0 down

#Repeat these 2 ip lines for every MadWifi device you have (ath1, etc)

cd scripts
./madwifi-unload
./find-madwifi-modules.sh $(uname -r)
cd ..
make make install
depmod -ae
modprobe ath_pci
}}}

Wait a while and the wireless should start to work. If not, reboot your laptop.

The fix appears to be incorporated into Intrepid, but this has not been tested. See [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/224498|bug #224498]]

=== Wireless activity LED ===

<<Anchor(WirelessLed)>>

Wireless LED does not work properly. This can be tweaked as explained [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#Step%203:%20Tweak%20/%20Fix|here]].

Open a terminal and execute these commands:

{{{
sudo su
sudo chmod a+x /etc/rc.local
gedit /etc/rc.local
}}}

Add these lines just above the string exit 0 (below doesn't work).
{{{
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledpin=3
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.softled=1
}}}

Save and reboot.

The 2.6.27 kernel does not appear to have these options anymore (earlier kernels do).
