I too have the same issue with acerhk not compling. I have tried module assistant and it fails. I have tried manually building acerhk and that fails.

I am getting really fed up with this now, I have a fujitsu laptop (V3505) that is 5 years old and every time I upgrade a kernel or upgrade ubuntu I have to build this from source, WHY? I am not a developer, I have had to learn how to try and build something from source code WHY. If linux what's to be accepted in the real world things like this should work.

To get wireless to work I have to boot into windows so that it will active the hardware, then reboot into ubuntu and then I can use wireless under ubuntu.

This is really really bad. Please fix this.
