    I'm not sure what your asking. That's an Intel Pro/Wireless number.

    If there's a problem with that driver, it should be stored on your system.
    Right click, uninstall. Then right click, search for new hardware and reinstall the driver.

    You should also be able to download all the drivers you need from the Acer website. On second thought, do this first because I don't know what's on your system.

    Do you see a warning sign in Device Manager under Network Adapters?
