Dear All, I finally found this piece of information at the http://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne site. It says :
Note Kernel 2.6.27-11 breaks the wired ethernet interface. Bug 313866 has been verified: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/313866 Add to the information to help. Revert to an earlier kernel to fix the wired interface for now.
However, I managed to crash my laptop while trying out various ways to fix the problem. I am told by the Acer people that it is probably only a corruption of the BIOS and will have to start from putting in a new BIOS. But when I have my Kubuntu intrepid up, I will remember to revert to an earlier version of the kernel. Hope this helps others who have the Acer Aspire One. Regards, Sanjay Singhvi

What exactly has crashed? Sometimes the little guy overheats if not ventilated properly, otherwise it should work fine. Do you have the 0.3 or 1.3 MP webcam? Mine is 0.3.
