I’ve upgraded to Win7 but can’t find a driver that works for the WLAN device (made by Atheros I think)

Surely go here and select your exact model.

If you can’t find a driver remember Ubuntu ‘just works’ on most netbooks.

odd. Im sure when I tried W7 on mine (Aspire one, 1GB, Atom 1Ghz, 16GB+expansion SSD) I found a working driver at the acer site.

If you have no joy finding it, email me I have a driver somewhere. No guarantee its the write one,,.

Anyway, I found W7 just didnt work very well on my build. I use an n-lited version of XP and its perfect.

I’ve an Aspire 4810TZ, it came with Win7. Works.

Not sure where I’d find the driver – if you know the directory I can find it and email?

EIP

Still no joy with this 🙁

My daughter has one
Do you know the file name & I’ll look when she gets back [tomorrow]

@br

The directory should be C:\Windows\System32\drivers

have you tried this james?

Get the wireless working in Windows 7 on an Aspire One

theres also some pointers in the comments here.

How to Install Windows 7 Beta on an Acer Aspire One Netbook

do a text search for atheros

Im sure when I tried a W7 install I used the native OS drivers with no problems.

Not on an Acer but a similar puzzling problem I had was rectified by disabling IPV6 on the wireless card

Thanks all couldn’t access that link earlier Stoner so will try later 🙂
