Hello all, Seem to have buggered up my acer. Installed Wine on it earlier, which seemed to work, however my acer is no longer able to find networks, or even indeed connect to my LAN network. I have tried uninstalling wine, but the problem remains unresolved. Any ideas on how to fix this? Been searching around the forums, but no-one else seems to have encountered this problem and any partial solutions that I have come across have been rather limited in effect. On a side-note, since installing Wine, it now takes about 30 seconds at the login screen before I can actually start typing in the user/password fields, although my I can still use the mouse. Very strange. Any ideas on what I've done? Cheers J Also another problem that has cropped up as well, when I go to the 'Add/Remove Software' in the advanced menu, I get an error telling that I am unable to retrieve software information: "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: livna. Please verify its path and try again." Argh. Damn you wine!
