Have you looked at http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
Alternatively you can get tha latest winxp 64bit drivers, extract the
proper files and try those.

Actually, the wireless 64-bit drivers aren't that common. It's kind of like all of the laptop manufacturers decided to stay with 32-bit Windoze rather than try to support two architectures. I think I finally found a fairly current version on the Acer support site in Germany. Try doing a Google search for BCMWL564.SYS. If you can't find it, drop an e-mail my way with a valid e-mail address for you and I'll send a copy of what I have.

Cheers,
Dave
