Actually, the wireless 64-bit drivers aren't that common. It's kind of
like all of the laptop manufacturers decided to stay with 32-bit Windoze
rather than try to support two architectures. I think I finally found a
fairly current version on the Acer support site in Germany. Try doing a
Google search for BCMWL564.SYS. If you can't find it, drop an e-mail my
way with a valid e-mail address for you and I'll send a copy of what I have.
Cheers,
Dave
