    I reformatted yesterday and now my wireless is not working.

    Acer support has sent me a couple different drivers, but no luck.

    In my device mgr I have a ? for ethernet controller. I'm not sure how to fix that.

    The light for the wireless stays on btw.

    Do I need to install drivers in a certain order ?

    Please help, I have been trying to fix this for several hours now. ty

    Problem solved by pointing the found new hardware wizard directly to the folder with the driver (instead of running the setup file for the driver).
