Take a look at my guide for installing FreeBSD on the Asus EeePC,  
located at http://nighthack.org/wiki/EeeBSD.

The Eee appears to use the same wireless card as your Acer laptop, and  
I have instructions on how to install a patched version of the Atheros  
hardware abstraction layer from the Linux MadWifi project.

The information you'll need is under the Wireless Networking section.
