Well, Acers specs say they used an Atheros or a Broadcom 4311 a/b/g card? So the drivers for the machine direct from them won't work, is that correct?

If you are using an added broadcom card. Get the chip number it should be on the card and download the correct driver for that chipset from:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions
or from the manufacturers site for the card you are using.
OR someone posted an ACER driver for the 4311 on driverguide

I have done this and once the correct chipset is used they always seem to work But it is very dependant on the actual chip on the card!
Added: I also noticed on many of the Linux forums that the Dell 1390 diver will work with the 4311 card. You might want to try that as a last ditch effort
