**** The wireless radio module problem was finally solved thanks to the acer_acpi module, downloaded from http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html and very easy to install and to use. Notice that to have a good behaviour ndiswrapper has to be used; with bcm43xx dhclient only works one time out of ten.
I had the same results with the "hardware way", but I think it's less interesting for a laptop-owner to open his machine than to install a module... anyway, here's the link: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/MiniPCI.		 **** On Dapper, the wireless radio module problem was solved thanks to the acer_acpi module, downloaded from http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html and very easy to install and to use.

Notes

* Can't tell whose fault it is, but when listening and in the meanwhile recording, frequency of recorded sounds is approximatly a half of real. I noticed it on Audacity, recording while listening to recorded tracks. It happens every time, with both the "mic" and the "line in" jacks. Seems like data input rate is a half of what the driver expects.

** the modem monitor asks me for the modem port; I try the automatic recognizing, it doesn't work

*** Onestly I don't find a difference even when I do it under Window, except an icon appearing on taskbar; I say "no" just because nothing appears in dmesg

**** On Dapper, the wireless radio module problem was solved thanks to the acer_acpi module, downloaded from http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html and very easy to install and to use.
