We will be in touch
I've upgraded to Win7 but can't find a driver that works for the WLAN device (made by Atheros I think)
Surely go [url= http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads.html ]here and select your exact model.[/url]
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]
The directory should be C:\Windows\System32\drivers
have you tried this james?

theres also some pointers in the comments here.
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 🙂
Now says Device cannot start Code 10 🙁
