Which one download for aspire E1-531 windows 7/64
You can identify which to install using hardware ID, just google your hardware ID and it will tell which driver you need to install
I have aspire 5740. In device manager it shows microsoft virtual wifi miniport adapter having yellow exlamation mark. win 7/64
It is a secondary network connection, and it is a virtual network which means it does not affect you main wireless connection. It commonly use to connect with second network such as ad-hoc connection. If you does not use it you can right click on it and select disable. If you want to install it, right lcik on it and select uninstall, restart and windows will reinstall the driver automatically.

In case you need the driver (if your wireless not working), make sure to turn on the wireless first (using fn key) just to double check.
There are two type of wireless card for this model, it is either Atheros or Broadcom.
Download and extract the original Windows Vista drivers and right click then select properties.
Then select compatibility and select Windows Vista.
Right click on setup file and select run as administrator.
Does not matter if installation is success or failed, restart your laptop.
