Onboard wireless adapter doens't show up in Dev Mgr

[botar]

I have an Acer Aspire 5315-2153 and had to clean install Vista Ultimate on a clean partition. Ethernet drivers and video drivers were found, so I suspected that they were on the acer recovery partition that I wiped also. (had to to load the OS). Managed to get ethernet going and video drivers also, but there is no wireless adapter in dev.manager to even try to install drivers for. There's no setting in the Bios Setup for wireless networks.

Is there any way to make the onboard wireless adapter show up in device manager ?

Load a driver for it.
Check with Acer for a wireless driver for the model of laptop you have.
