Acer wireless driver
I just bought a new Acer laptop and scrubbed the hard drive and installed my own Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit software (original CD's). I can't get a wireless connection now. The system recognizes my router signal, but the driver I need for the PCI communications controller wasn't part of the list of drivers I downloaded from Acer.
Acer has been less than no help - basically saying their laptop doesn't support Windows 7 Ultimate (after hours on the phone and numerous e-mail exchanges), but they implied the problem is fixable. I know the controller is an Intel 3B64, but Intel's website indicates the controller has been modified and I need to go back to Acer - Acer just blows me off with the lame explanation that I need to order the recovery disk and use their factory installed software, and basically get over it.
I'm not an IT guru, but not an idiot either. I would think there's a driver that will solve the problem...the trick is just finding it. And I'm too stubborn to just be a victim to this kind of nonsense. Tried all of the standard things - none work. The device manager indicates the controller needs a driver. Is this a problem with a solution?
Also, I would have posted all my computer specs, but the Acer website is down...go figure.
Can anyone help?
