Feisty-Fawn 7.04 install on Acer 5100-5033

[Alex Hewitt]

This was the easiest notebook install I've had with Linux! The resulting
installation uses almost 100% of the machine to full advantage although
it took some minor adjustments to get the Broadcom wireless working. I
found the answer online at:

Now I have a nice little icon at the top of the screen with 3 out of 4
bars lit indicating that I'm connected to my house network. My house
network has encryption security and in general I'd say that connecting
to a wireless network is as easy as it would be with most MS Windows
setups. The only drawback is that it appears that the connection is an
801.11b connection rather than an 802.11g but I'll take it...

All the other features just seem to work.

P.S. The Ubuntu folks have done a really nice job with this release...
