    I recently bought Acer Aspire One 532h and installed Windows 7 Enterprise over the version of Windows 7 starter it came with. However, with neither 32-bit nor 64-bit have I been able to get the wireless to work for a sustained period. I've used different sets of Atheros wireless drivers (AR5B95) without any luck.

    Wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem and had any advice on a method of fixing it.

    Thanks.

    Did Acer purposely disable drivers from working on non-Win7 Starter editions? Can't get Wi-Fi working no matter the tricks.

    I have the same problem, I installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I got the wireless working a couple of times but not consistently.

    Please post if you come up with a solution, I will do the same.

    I had the same problem, I installed " AHCI_Intel_8.9.0.1023_W7x86_A.zip " from the Acer website and it fixed the wireless problem (no connectivity) - it's some type of chipset driver. Good luck.
