Does anyone know how to get the wifi indicator working on the Acer Aspire
One? I've done a lot lof work with the wifi today, then suddenly, an hour
or so ago, I saw the signal bars drop from 4 to 1. Then I lost the
connection.
Nothing has changed, in terms of location or additional equipment in the
room, and attempting to re-start the connection tells me that it has been
disconnected. I've tried fiddling with that switch again, but there is no
way of knowing whether it is active or not.
<sigh> I hate mysteries. This morning the netbook connected to the wireless
router at bootup. I've still no idea what went wrong yesterday, or why I
couldn't scan for a connection. It's as though something turns wifi off and
it can't be turned back one.
Personally I think it's another form of rsibreak :-)

As we all use computers here, we could all occasionally benefit from an rsi
time out. :}
Assuming you shut the machine down last night after the net stopped working,
_perhaps_ it would be useful keep track of what the room/computer temperature
and uptime is each time it stops working (from a cold boot) ... It could be
that a component is getting hot, or saturated in another way that has a
hysteresis curve.
Did you also shutdown the router last night too?
Have you done anything to see if someone else may be attempting to use/abuse
your router, like look at it's recent IDS logs?
Might try transferring a couple of fedora install DVD isos across it into
/dev/null, or some other throw away storage on the machine, to see if it can
only handle so many bits before needing reset.
Just ideas.
