A Tip for Acer AO722 users

I have no idea if anyone here even owns one besides me but, I finally got GNU/Linux running on my Acer AO722.

I tried Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, Mint 11 and 12, Trisquel 5.0, Backtrack 5 r1 and r2 always locked up as soon as I attempted to connect to wifi. This would cause me to hard-reset and then use ethernet. Kinda defeats the purpose of a laptop and I'd have to revert to Win7 Home Premium which sucks the life out of the 2GB max. memory.

After asking around and google searching I found that all you have to do is enable network boot and also make sure the first device that boots is the NIC. This somehow resolves the conflict every distro mentioned above has. More info and credit goes here; Ubuntu - Installation of Acer Aspire One 722 (AO722)
