Hi,
I have an Acer Aspire 3023 which has a built in broadcom 802.11g wireless card. The driver is installed by Vista during setup and shows correctly in the device manager but I cannot activate the antenna.
There is a button on the front of the laptop which is used to switch on the antenna but when I run the troubleshooter and it asks me to turn the antenna on all I get is a beep when I press the antenna button.
I have tried the XP driver and its a no go, I have also tried to install acer's launchmanager software which (on XP) enables the wireless at startup, this also fails to run.
I went into the drivers settings to see if there was a "radio on/off" setting but the options in the driver are pretty sparse with no settings relating to the antenna.
I used a PCMCIA wireless card and this runs perfectly but I realy want to use the built in card.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Chris

Hi,
I've seen a post somewhere on here about installing the eManager software in compatibility mode - but I had no joy.
Anyone got any ideas yet? I don't know how long this USB wireless device is going to survive.

I installed the eManager software for my Ferrari 4000 running as an administrator AND with Server 2003 compatibility mode. After a reboot, the hardware buttons for bluetooth and the built in broadcom wireless LAN worked fine. also make certain that the device is not disabled in device manager.

Hi,
I managed to get this working last night..
It's not actually the eManager software that controls the button on the front of the laptop.
It's actually the LaunchManager, by running Setup in Windows 2003 Server mode (not Win Xp SP2) and as an Administrator, I managed to get the device working after a reboot.
As Barb said - make sure the device isn't disabled in device manager if you have problems.

OK, I had the 32 bit version installed on an Acer 4400 with 64 bit processor. I followed the suggestions and the wireless worked. I uninstalled 32 bit and installed 64 bit Vista but after following all the steps mentioned, no wireless. Does anyone have a work around for the launch mgr in 64 bit. By the way, the 32 bit and 64 bit launch mgr seem to be Identical. Dean
