    You can downlod drivers for Acer Aspire 4740G from here:
    Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents - Notebook / Aspire / Aspire 4736Z
    Use the Acer Hardware Vendor Detection Utility to get the best drivers.

    I ever used Acer Hardware Vendor Detection Utility and wireless lan is Atheros also the driver is the latest version which is Wireless LAN_Atheros_8.0.0.238 .

    However, when switch back to XP again network is in the network list and able to be connected without changing anything . It might be because of unreboot after driver installation .

    Anyway , thank you for suggestion.
