It's not far simpler because Acer assumed the machine would be used for its
basic functionality, and hid a lot of the rest of it (alongside breaking the
Linux security model while they were at it!).   I reckon many of the people
now using Linux on the AAO know more about the OS than the Acer people who
set it up!

Another useful link from the AAO User Forum:

Installing a better Network Manager (handles WPA2 Enterprise, so things like
University networks):
