Acer Aspire 4310, 2nd laptop fix for the month

Acer Aspire 4310 is another headache if you want windows XP on it.

Here's the official driver page

ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_4710/driver/

However, the wifi (on my case a broadcom) driver will not work. This sucks I know, for some reason it can't see the card. And will ask you to put it in. The thing is, its there.

The workaround is that you point the driver directly to the bcmwl5.inf file.

One device hasn't install on it yet, it's Mass Storage Controller yet. I use AHCI yet nothing, weird but atleast I didn't have the problem of booting the installer w/ a slipstream SATA driver.
