dude I was able to resolve this WLAN issue by reverting back to service pack 2..........i got this solution on another forum, I tried it and it works............the guy who suggested this solution was of the opinion that machines which do not come with pre-installed XP with SP3 or vista do show driver-hardware compatibility issues.......bt it aint something to get worried about

hope it works for u to

Driver CD provided by acer laptop is old and not supported the WLAN actually installed, try to get the latest updated driver and install. You can get the latest drivers from acer support center as well. I did the same.

I faced the same problem. try to download latest drivers from broadcom website and in stall hope that will solve your problem.

CD provided with acer laptop contains older driver which doesn't support WLAN installed.
