Acer Aspire AO756

Wow. So I picked up an AO756, and Sabayon 10 is the closest to full "out-of-the-box" support I've come on all of the distros I've tried. I mean Seriously, good job. The clickpad, which doesn't work properly on any other distro, is fully functional. Graphics are also a go at this station. So far there are only two issues that I've noticed:
1. FN brightness keys don't work out of the box. This can be fixed by adding acpi_backlight=vendor to /etc/default/grub, such that it reads:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_backlight=vendor"
and then running:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
2. airmon-ng start wlan0 produces the error:
[phy0]mon0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

This is a know bug in Sabayon, http://bugs.sabayon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3648. While not a show stopper (getting on the internet works), its driving me insane. I've tried killing all conflicting processes to no avail. This happens on the ath9k driver as well as my usb dongle. I'm at a complete loss here, and if ANYONE has a fix for this, please post!
Other than that, Sabayon10 K64bit completely rocks this system!
