Dear Acer support,

I have this problem already for a while. One minute the network adapter works perfectly (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter). The other minute the laptop can get stuck because of network adapter issues. When the network adapter stops functioning I have no idea how to turn it back again. Sometimes restarting the computer works, sometimes a network reset works and sometimes nothing at all (which is my situation now).
The error I get from the adapter is:
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12). If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on the system."

I really want to fix this issue but don't know how to continue from here. Hope I can find a solution from this forum

Hi,

Download this driver from herehttp://www.station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=353&func=fileinfo&id=1767&lang=en: and save it somewhere convenient for you, switch off the laptop, disconnect the mains, remove the battery, press Power button for few seconds, reinsert the battery, reconnect the mains and reboot and see whether it helps.

If it doesn't, go to Device manager, right click your wi-fi adapter and uninstall it, without rebooting install the downloaded driver and try connecting to internet. HTH.
