Acer OS Crash - reload - no wireless

Hi, I have an Acer 7520 laptop that was running Vista. The OP system crashed and I was unable to recover it after trying a multitude of things. I took a Vista Op System Re-installation DVD from a brand new Dell laptop and was successfull in re-installing Vista sp1. Everything seems to work fine, except I cannot connect to my wireless router. When I try to connect to a network the machine says "Windows cannot find any networks". So I click "View network computers and devices" and it shows a blank screen.

Then I try Control Panel - Device Manager - and I don't see anything that looks like a wireless adapter. It seems to me that the new Vista is not seeing the laptop wireless card (which was working previously). Help!

Can the wireless card be turned off and on by hot keys combination by chance?
