I've got an acer aspire 3680-2576 laptop that came with Vista and I'm
installing XP Home SP2 on it. The wireless driver installs but windows
reports "device cannot start, code 10." I tried all the wireless drivers
listed for this computer on the acer site and this is the only one that
installs. It's the "atheros AR5600X" driver. Rebooting makes no difference.
Uninstalling and re-installing makes no difference. The wireless switch on
the front of the computer doesn't light when the switch is pushed. Also, the
machine freezes when the device is enabled. When I disable the device the
machine stops freezing. Any ideas what to do? Thanks.

uninstall the driver via device manager and reboot.

Installing an earlier Os than the one preinstalled often poses issues. Might
strick with Vista.
