    I have installed Windows Vista tonight and although it detects my broadcomm card, I cannot turn the card on through the manager.

    I have read into a channel 9 forum saying that you need to make the wbutton.exe compatiable for XP SP2 with Admin rights, although theres no wbutton exe on my c drive launch manager location.

    I need Wi-Fi badly for my aspire and I actually like Vista despite this problem. Anyone know a driver which gets around this? Or if Acer will code the launch manager for Vista?

    Acer probably will though not likely until Vista is soon to be released.
