The Acer Aspire One, yes. I'm connected this morning. This reminds me of
the problem I had with NetworkManager-gnome - when it lost connection it
could not re-connect. In fact it couldn't see the network at all. Just
the same as I saw last night. I'll see what happens today.

Have you rebooted since seeing non-functioning driver or reloaded the driver?
At random (with low probability) I get this. I just reload the kernel driver
and then it works. Also with some probability, sometimes I notice I
accidentally switch the wireless off with the physical switch :) The latter
seems to require restarting NM to notice the switch is turned on (it
shouldn't, but it does).
