Acer Aspire 5745G No Network and no Drivers out of Box

Asked by Stefan Albrecht

Hi Folks,
just bought a nice Acer Aspire 5745G Laptop.
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and later Ubuntu 10.04.
with both versions i had the same problems.
No Network/Internet, No Drivers and The CD Drive does not open. Does anyone know which proprietary drivers I need to install to make this work? :-(
Many thanks
Stefan

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

if you have another pc with access you can run:

sudo lshw -C network > ~/Desktop/lshw.txt

Then copy the lshw.txt on the desktop to a USB stick / SD card and paste the text here using the other PC.

Can you help with this problem?
