Company: Acer
Product series: Aspire 5610 (5610z)
Product Number: Aspire 5612ZNWLMi
Model Number: BL50
Problem:
Wrong driver on the cd provided, the driver was for intel wifi adapter.
Solution:
Acer usually manufactures their notebooks with either Intel, Broadcom or Atheros wifi adapters, and in my case it was Broadcom.
Acer Aspire 5610z Broadcom Wireless Driver XP - 73.3Mb
Acer Aspire 5610z Atheros Wireless Driver XP - 1.6Mb
(If you are unsure of your wifi model, turn around the laptop and look around if somewhere reads atheros. The models with atheros adapters usually have a small text where the model of the atheros adapter is printed.)

Same problem here (5612ZWNLmi)... the driver CD only has Intel WLAN drivers included. Thanks for the link.
Thanks a lot man.... I didn't have a cd and when I put XP on it (I hate vista) I couldn't get ANY drivers to work.... the website doesn't even have the right ones...
Now that i have the wireless though... well, Audio can wait.
I'm glad you resolved your issue with the wireless, if there aren't any drivers on the website try choosing a different country, maybe your model is manufactured for a different continent. Btw why can't you install audio drivers? I think I installed the ones from their website and they worked. Do you have the Microsoft Hotfix for the High Definition Audio?
