    Works ok in XP & Win 7 Starter but not in Win 7 Ultimate orange light on but red X on wifi
    has Atheros card. Sometimes it shows when first starting as connected or networks available but then cuts out and goes back to red X.
    Tried different drivers but no go, backed up drivers with Driver Backup on Win 7 Starter and restored it on Ultimate but the same.
    Acer Hardware ID Detection App says Wireless LAN Broadcom but Broadcom driver just gives bluescreen.

    Thanks.

    UPDATE 1:
    Plug 2 other Mini Wireless LAN Cards in, same problem.
    Plugged NETGEAR WG111v3 in works fine.
    Found Hidden OEM folder on Starter Edition, it had driver folder with 3 Atheros Wireless Lan drivers
    FOXCONN TW Wireless LAN 3rd WiFi 1x1 BGN Atheros HB95
    LITE-ON Wireless LAN 3rd WiFi 1x1 BGN Atheros HB95
    QMI Wireless LAN 3rd WiFi 1x1 BGN Atheros HB95
    none worked.
    Trying now to run the Preload ALaunchX that installs everything.
