    Hello all,
    I have a AOD250, which is running XP Home, that I had to do a restore on with CD's provided by Acer. Now I cannot get the wireless drivers to install. I downloaded the Aerathos (sp?) drivers from the Acer website but they are not working. Card still shows up in device manager as the yellow question mark. It's out of warrenty but I was able to get them to confirm that it is indeed the Areathos Chipset.

    Had any one ran into this before? Thanks in advance.

    This may be a stupid question but have you checked to insure the wifi switch is turned on via the physical switch?

    Hi there,

    Do you get an error message when you try to install the drivers? Or does it just not work?

    I would be tempted to run the Acer Hardware Detector just to be doubly sure you have the Atheros Wireless card.

    This can be found on the Acer site here: http://global-download.acer.com/FilesDo ... ection.exe

    Cheers
