I'm having a problem with the latest updates to Windows 7 Starter. My pc is a Acer Apire one 532H-2806 netbook. After the installing the latest microsoft update on 02/10/11 thw wireless adapter is no longer detected. Checked network & sharing and device manager under network adapters, it shows only the Atheros Ethernet Controller. I called Acer reguarding the issue, they stated to do a restore to an eariler date which I've done already with no change, had me reinstall the driver (which doesn't make any sense since it doesnt show in device manager at all) also with no change, and last but not lease preform a recovery of the opperating system. Is there any other thoughts of a resolution to this issue ? Please help ?

Have you checked that the wi-fi is not turned off by some magic Fn key or in the BIOS? Maybe it's time to call Acer. If this indeed was caused by MS update, they should already know. -- pa

I called Acer and they said do a restore to a earlier date (did that no change) had me reinstall the driver for the wireless adapter from the partion (did that no change) now the want me to do a system recovery. when I fn wifi button it says no device. Acer did state they have been seeing some issues with the must recent microsoft updates. I had a simular issue with my sony vaio after reinstalling the os (win vista32) the disk drive wasnt detected in my computer and in the device manager and it was a reg. key that had to be deleted. Sooo.... I'ma little lost at this point

Hi, Just try to remove recent updates and check the result: Remove an update If this issue persists, try to update your BIOS and Chipset driver to the latest for test. Meanwhile, it may be a hardware issue, it is also recommended to contact manufacturer for further help. Hope it helps.
