Hi All, I have a similar laptop, Acer 4520, and I believe it has the same Wireless card. In my case, I was able to compile a working module by using following the instructions found in http://nighthack.org/wiki/EeeBSD but using this other version of the MadWifi drivers: http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698-20080604.tar.gz Hope it helps.
