Solved Cannot find Wireless card driver

[mac173]

I am fixing a friends laptop, and have run into a snag I cannot fix. The laptop has a wireless card, but Vista cannot start it. I think it may be a driver problem, but I cannot find a driver for it. When I "search" for the driver online, it keeps linking me to the MS Update site, which does not have the driver.

The device is "Acer T62L158 PRO/100+ with Alert on LAN 2*".

This is how it is shown in Device Manager. It did work previously, but my friends daughter had a problem (Error Message) and reset to factory settings, which removed many drivers. I got the Video and LAN card drivers online and installed them, but I need the Wireless card.

Anyone know where I can find this driver?

Try here- ACER T62L158 PRO/100+ with Alert On LAN 2* free download, ACER T62L158 PRO/100+ with Alert On LAN 2* download on software download - downv.com

That is one of many sites I have found using a search, but there is no download there. When I hit the download button, it just takes me to another page with info, but no download. The page has an area that says "Pick your download site" but there are no sites.

I really hate these driver sites. They have so many adds, it's impossible to find the info you are looking for. CNet has the driver as well, but they force you to download and install a driver update program, which I don't want or need.

Ok, I deleted the device in Device Manager, and the system "found" new hardware, which was a different wireless card. The drivers were on the Dell Update site, so the wireless is working.
Vista somehow ID'ed the wrong card for wireless.
I had several other "Unknown Device" tags in Device Manager, and all but two of them resolved by deleting and rebooting. The last two needed a multi-device driver from the Dell Update site.
So all drivers are working, and no more Unknown Devices.

Thanks for the help.

I'm glad you got it resolved.
