Can't find any networks to connect

[Flux101]

Hi

Awesome program, by the way - I'm installing on my Acer Aspire One... tried nLited XP first, worked well, but vLited Vista bizarrely works better (and easier to install from USB)....

My problem is that I can't connect to the internet. In drivers, I removed ethernet because I was going to install my own... then found there aren't any drivers for it to download, but the WIFI didn't work either after installing drivers, so I guess it wasn't the problem? It just won't search for connections, it instantly says it can't find any networks to connect to without even trying. I've searched the forums, but nobody seems to have had the same issues.

I read that UAC may have stopped it from working, so I tried it again and leaving UAC unchecked and enabled, but still have the same problem.

Thanks in advance. Here's my last session.ini - I guess I removed too much, but not sure what to put back in:

OK, it all seemed to be a driver issue - I added almost everything back in except for languages and things that were 100% never going to be used, made it run slow as hell (good old bloated Vista, eh?), but also had same problem, even through ethernet, which I told to keep the ethernet drivers.

Ended up using ethernet drivers for a HP laptop, which worked, and then I could get proper drivers by updating through device manager, in particular the WLAN drivers, which from the Acer site don't appear work on Vista (for me anyway).

Now I'm going to try slipstreaming SP1 and then putting this slipstreamed iso back through vLite (that's the right thing to do, right?), and see where that gets me. Last time I tried this though, when it restarted during installation, it moved back to copying files and just stuck there, rather than going to completing installation as it should have done, any ideas what went wrong there?
