| | What is the make and model number of your laptop? Obviously, you will have to download the required driver on a computer with internet access and then copy it over to the laptop using, for example, a USB flash drive. |

| | You need to first fill in your system specs on your profile page for the system you need the drivers for. Basically what is the make and model number of your laptop and anything else you can give us: System Info - See Your System Specs |

| | Why did you delete your post? Anyhow, according to Acer your network device is Broadcom 4401. There are Vista drivers available, and these may or may not work in Windows 7. Note that you might have to install them in Compatibility Mode. Broadcom.com - Ethernet NIC 4401 Driver Downloads 32-bit: Broadcom.com - Broadcom License Agreement 64-bit: Broadcom.com - Broadcom License Agreement Note that the above are listed on the support page as being Vista drivers, however by the file names they look to be XP ones. Even so, try them, and if they are XP ones see if you can get them to install using Compatibility Mode. Compatibility Mode Note that as your laptop is an old model, there is no guarantee with any of this. Best of luck. |
