    Hey all. I recently purchased a 532h and had to put XP on it, I couldn't stand Win Starter 7. The only thing I'm having trouble with is the wireless drivers. I seemed to have installed the software for the Intel Pro/Set wireless device, but I can't figure out anything about the drivers. Anybody have any insight?!

    Thanks

    It would appear there are four different Wireless LAN chips from three different vendors. I'll link to the Acer Support site below for each vendor / model:

    Atheros
    Broadcomm
    Intel - SP1x2HMW
    Intel - INT6250H

    The above driver links are all for Windows XP x86 and are all direct from the Acer Support site

    I tried all of those. The last one actually installed software but apparently no drivers.

    also note, for anyone else having this problem. the make/model of your wifi card is always on those black fcc stickers on the bottom of your netbook.
