Reverted Acer laptop to XP, Can't find wireless lan Driver!

I have an Acer Aspire 5100 that I switched back to XP Pro SP3 from Vista home. The Acer would NOT talk to the Verizon DSL Versa-link combo DSL modem and wireless
router. (couldn't get the Versa-link to respond to 192.168.1.1)

As soon as I reverted back to XP, No problems with connecting to router AND internet!

I hunted up most of the drivers EXCEPT for the wireless lan device inside the Acer.

It seems as the only driver not supplied from a couple of sources, IS the wireless LAN driver, unless I'm looking in the wrong place!

Does anyone have this driver or can someone point me in the right direction here?

thanks chris
