i have an acer aspire 5732z notebook and i am installing windows xp on it.
i got all the drivers but i couldnt find the wireless driver.
i used http://www.pcidatabase.com/search.php?device_search_str=4357&device_search.x=44&device_search.y=4 and found out that the wireless card is broadcom.
but i couldnt find anywhere to download the driver.
any help?
thanks

did you try here:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/downloaddrivers.php
too bad the acer website doesn't provide windows xp drivers.

Try the Driver Max website...have used them before - the only caveat is that you can only download one (i think!) free driver per day, so choose carefully...
They have a lot of older drivers, and many users contribute drivers...worth a look!

Go here and download this driver package from Dell, use winzip or other utility to unpack the exe file, then use device manager to install the driver manually, point it to the "DRIVER" folder of the unpacked contents. see if it will work for you.
If given the choice of download method after clicking "Download" button, use your Browser.

Here's the link i was thinking... perhaps this is only for wired NIC cards, but its worth a try.
this looks like its for wired. i didnt ever see a wireless network driver that is 129KB – Karim – 2010-08-26T20:19:27.203
