You can get them from Acer UK website. Click "Driver Downloads" on the left hand side and select all the options as shown in the pic and I reckon the one that says Wireless Lan Driver For AR5B91- would be the best to try. Thats the support page for your laptop as the model would be the 5810T so they should work fine!

doc - does SIW work if you haven't got the drivers installed yet?

kyleneedshelp - windows update sometimes finds drivers for you. it's worth a try if you can't find anything elsewhere...try texlewis's link first.

I think Device Manager & SIW have found some hardware in the past without current drivers, usually windows generic drivers

Just checked one of my network computers. It has a Atheros AR5007UG Wireless adapter.

Now using the left-hand pane, tunnel down to Network | Adapter.
Scroll right-hand pane until you get to your adapter.
