    Yep,WiFi (atheros) is working on the Acer Aspire One (A150) BIOS: 3309.

    http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=138351&view=findpost&p=1059753

    OS: iTAKOS 10.5.5, kernel: Voodoo with ppf1 + 2 +3

    HowTo:
    1/ / Library / Preferences / SystemConfiguration / com.apple.boot.plist (edit and just add -f flag):
    Code:
    <key> Kernel </ key>
    <string> mach_kernel </ string>    <-- (if you have Voodoo kernel string will be different)
    <key> Kernel Flags </ key>
    <string>-f </ string> 
    If you have original iATKOs kernel:

    Code:
    <key> Kernel </ key>
    <string> mach_kernel </ string>    
    <key> Kernel Flags </ key>   
    <string>-f cpus=1 </ string>

    What's the difference?

    You still need kismac, and it doesn't always work.

    this works but you must shutdown the aa1 rebooting will not work. i am running 10.5.6 with the vodoo 9.5.0 kernal
    and you have to use kismac but out of all of the others i tried this works. also you must rename the kext IO80211Family.kext

    Therefore, it doesn't work at all.
