What shows up when I type ifconfig is the following: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) and for iwconfig: lo no wireless extensions I'm pretty sure my Wi-Fi isn't even toggled on (the light for it is orange-ish), and that's the issue. But, I am unable to toggle it using the function key designated to it. All the other function keys work though which is the confusing part. Possible driver issue I've investigated also.

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One, and have tried everything I can to figure out how to make the Wi-Fi work. I have tried several drivers and to no avail, so I turn here for some help. My wireless card shows up as Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:4727] (rev 01). I figured this net book would be compatible with Backtrack because others have said it worked out of the box. Any help would be appreciated and I will do my best to provide you with info. Thanks.
