Hi - I have a friends Acer Aspire 5315 using a AR5007EG Wireless card that will not connect to the internet using WPA / WPA2.  If I use WEP its fine but will not connect to a secured network.  I have checked that the driver is the latest of the Acer Support Web site and reinstalled it even though it said it was up to date.  Connects to the Wireless Router no problem and picks up an IP address but Vista reports Local Network only and will not allow me to browser the internet.  If I use WEP its fine.  Any advice would be appreciated.  I have seen several internet articles saying there is a problem with the driver.  Thanks in advance.

I have now fixed the problem now.  The driver on the Acer Support and downloads area doesn't work (Version 7.3.1.73 July 2007) but if you can find a v7.7.0.xxx (2010) driver or later it does work with WPA / WPA2.
