    Hey everyone, I have an Acer 8200 and I am having some wireless issues. Sometimes, it will connect to my home wireless router automatically and everything's dandy. The other half of the time, it will not even load the icon in the system tray for the wireless.
    Sometimes ePowerManagement will disable the WLan for some reason, and the light for wireless on the front of the laptop won't be on. Then if I try to move the switch to turn it on on the front, the computer freezes instantly.

    Is there some settings, drivers, or something I should change; or should I just dump that Acer software?
