    I have the above laptop. Needed to reinstall WINDOWS XP and reverted to one partition. Prior to this all functions were working.

    Unable to start the Wireless Network and Bluetooth card. Message is error 10 with yellow !. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both the wireless and bluetooth cards. I visited ACER site for right drivers and installed same. Wireless card is an Atheros and driver is Atheros 802.11bg Wireless Driver 4.0.0.14001 Windows XP.

    Can anyone help me resolve this.

    Regards,

    Trevor
