Found it! I downloaded the chipset driver from the Gateway site and I was able to get the SM Bus Manager driver.

Hi All:

I'm late to the party but I hope someone will read this and give me a hand. I have been able to get this little cutie functional under Win XP between the excellent instructions here as well as some of the links below. However, I still can't get the SM bus manager driver. I don't know if it's me or if the page has changed but the link for the SM bus in this article takes me to the same page as the video drivers and the only link I see is the one that I downloaded and used for the video? What am I missing? Thanks for all of the great help!

If you want to make it so that the RAM isn't constantly pegged to 100% on that 2GB RAM, buy yourself a single 4GB RAM chip, it'll definitely solve all those problems.

I'm stuck on the Wi-Fi too. I downloaded the file indicated in this article for the Wi-Fi stuff, unzipped the directory on my desktop and looked inside. There is no executable ?…May be a dumb question but how to I get the files installed exactly ?

Although my router(dlink 665) doesn't support 5ghz it does show up as N at up to 150mbs, so no complaints there.
The only headache I have is when doing a large file transfer to the netbook via wifi my mouse(Logi MX Revolution,bluetooth) becomes all but useless.

Hi,

So I did it. I bought the LT31 and am posting this comment with it.
I used all the drivers in the article. The INF file for the wireless was a bit tricky. Having to create a new file with the name INF and downloading the text. I had to wait for that zip file with the sys files to download it took a few seconds before it showed me it was available to download.
I also had to install the sound drivers KC recommended. I installed the synaptics touchpad driver because being able to change those settings was important to me. The Gateway links weren't working so I used the Acer AO751h drivers. I think there the same they are available here http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/ click on the Aspire One - AO751h link.

I didn't install the Chicony webcam drivers as they aren't important to me and the link wasn't working on the Gateway site.

Thanks. God Bless.

Aaron.
