Not I, sadly! It just worked on the Debian laptop that uses Gnome. Sometimes hibernating confuses things, but restarting the NetworkManager and applet services shows networks again. I think once I had to debug the underlying wifi with iwconfig, but on some strange pub network I'd not used before. At least it's possible.
Good luck!
Might be needed - the wi-fi on this Eee 'just works' depending on the meaning you give to 'just'.
At my brother's house, and at my sister's ditto, I just click the icon in the systray and fill-in the key, and lo! It worketh.
In the Fat Cat, I do the same, and it worketh not.
You might be in danger of confusing yourself here.
For the Fat Cat, it might be location related in that you need to be in the right place to have wifi work. Don't sit at the end furthest away from Nelson Street. I've had the same problem with my N900 but simply by moving, it 'just works' ;-)
I haven't tried using the Acer flaptop yet. (Nev will confirm the Eee's aberrant behaviour.)
