Wireless ethernet driver {{ic|brcmsmac}} should automatically load at startup.

Read [[Wireless Setup]]. The brcmsmac module loads automatically for the BCM4313 wireless card. The bcma module conflicts with it and needs to be blacklisted. See the discussion [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125301 here].

This should no longer be needed, but in the past, the modules {{ic|bcma}} and {{ic|acer-wmi}} caused conflicts and had to be [[Modprobe#Blacklisting|blacklisted]].

In the forums, one poster reports and provides a solution for [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127282 freezing upon wifi connect].

Another poster with a different version of the AO722 using the AR9285 card [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127951 also reports freezing] and provides a workaround.

Initially audio doesn't work at all except for beeping. The problem can be fixed by opening /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and replacing every instance of "card 0" with "card 1". (Taken from [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127385 this discussion] in the forums.)

As of kernel 3.1, the headphone jack is correctly supported.

There seems to be no way to make the 722 or at least this version sense a headphone or speaker jack. There is a workaround involving a small bash script that allows switching between headphones and speakers. The first thing needed for the workaround is the 'hda-verb' utility program. It's [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33545 available from AUR], but the package is now out of date so use the following as the PKGBUILD script:

Setup Issues

Most things on the Acer Aspire One 722 work more or less out of the box, as long as you do what the Beginners Guide says to do. There are however some special steps required.

Video

The xf86-video-ati driver is recommended, read ATI for more information.

Networking

Note: If you experience freezes when turning on the wireless card/connecting to wireless networks, select "Network Boot" as first boot device in the BIOS. (Press F2 during Acer boot screen to access the BIOS options.)

Wireless ethernet driver brcmsmac should automatically load at startup.

This should no longer be needed, but in the past, the modules bcma and acer-wmi caused conflicts and had to be blacklisted.

Setup may be further configured by reading Wireless Setup.

Audio

Initially, audio doesn't work, except for beeping. The problem may be corrected by editing /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and replacing every instance of card 0 with card 1.

As of kernel 3.1, the headphone jack is correctly supported.

For kernel versions < 3.1, a bash script may be used to switch between the internal speakers and headphones. First, download hda-verb from the AUR. The package is now out of date, so use the following PKGBUILD script: 

pkgname='hda-verb'
pkgver=0.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Tool to send commands (verbs) to HD-Audio codecs"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
depends=('glibc')
url="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/misc/"
license=('GPL')
source=(ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/misc/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('60be775c58feb2f8b9644dfeca0ad0d8')

build() {
	cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver

	make || return 1
	install -D $pkgname $pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname
}


Next, save the following bash script: 

#!/bin/bash

# If needed, change these to the pins of the headphones and speakers, can be found using hda analyzer
pin_headphones="0x19"
pin_speakers="0x1f"

case "$1" in
  [Hh]*)
    hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 "${pin_headphones}" \
      set_pin_wid 0xc0
    hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 "${pin_speakers}" \
      set_pin_wid 0x00
    ;;
  [Ss]*)
    hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 "${pin_headphones}" \
      set_pin_wid 0x00
    hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 "${pin_speakers}" \
      set_pin_wid 0x40
    ;;
esac

Run the script as root with h or s as an argument to switch to headphones or speakers. Sometimes the command must be run again if a new audio program is started. (Taken with modifications from this discussion in the forums.)

Beep on Power Cord Plug-In/Out

To lower the loudness of the beep when the power cord to an acceptable level, open alsamixer, select the "HDA ATI SB" sound card using F6 and mute the "Beep" by using arrow chars and then pressing "m"

Dual Boot

See Windows and Arch Dual Boot for general information. Note that this netbook does not come with recovery CDs. If an attempt to set up dual boot goes awry and you can't boot the machine at all, or can't boot into Windows, you can restore the original Windows configuration by booting into /dev/sda1, the recovery partition, as if it were an ordinary Windows installation. The recovery program says it will wipe the whole disk but will only wipe the partition on which Windows resides. (You can install grub from the Arch installation media onto a thumbdrive and take it from there.)
