There was an error in my question content.. on the card it says Ambit Microsystems Corp T60H656.02

The Acer is very bad on customer support, alsodoes  the Amit!

Have you had restore system cd for that laptop? If yes, use that. Other way that you will not like it is to buy other PCMCIA wireless card, and disable or remove that internal PCI.

I cant find the original CD's from my laptop..think I lost them over the years..right now the driver i am using (I think) is same as on the CD's which came with my laptop. http://www.acersupport.com/library/ti_note/tm240250802.exe  
Express.sys     ver2.1.0.21114
PRISM Wireless NDIS 5.1 Driver
Copyright , Intersil Americas Inc.
Developed by TriplePoint, Inc.  <www.TriplePoint.com>

But using this driver (which is VERY old) my wireless card lose the signal? because after 5 mins of browsing or downloading something.. on the tray icon it says no connection available, exactly like when you plug out the cable. BUT the internet continue to work even with that red "x" on the wireless connection for some time , again after 30 mins or so the connection looks ok again, after is ok again, in 5 mins same story.. and finnaly it crashes an no internet.
What I could find was another Express.sys file (which is the driver along with the inf file) but newer version ( 2.1.0.30624 )  from another laptop drivers. And it seem to work w/o disconnecting messages.
Getting another wireless card is not an option atm..maybe next month ..an removing the card I cant because this is the only way to use internet wireless on my appartment (no cables)

So, I dont think the problem lies in driver of network card. It could be a lot of issues related.

You might have to change the antenna for better ones that helps to provide more reliable signals. Below are few ways to trouble shooting wireless:

Sometimes a system error can cause a computer to lose or "forget" a network connection. This can also happen when your computer goes to sleep or a notebook computer does an auto shut-down due to low battery power. In this case, restarting your computer will force the machine to attempt to reconnect to the network. Keep in mind that many laptop computers do not fully power down unless you depress the power key for at least 5 seconds.
1. Restart your computer.
2. From the Start menu (lower-left corner of the screen), select Control Panel.
3. Windows XP Home: Double-click on .
Windows XP Professional: Double-click on .

5. The connection should show as enabled and show you are connected to the Wireless Network.
6. If you are connected, launch your web browser to visit the wireless network authentication web page. Windows XP automatically detects and displays installed network cards. If you do not see a Wireless Network Connection icon, skip to the Network Hardware Settings section of this document.
Remember, wireless connections can be especially sensitive to fluctuations due to antenna and signal strength.
Determine Whether You Have A Network Connectivity Or Application Specific Problem.
Determine if your problem is specific to an application, by opening up another Internet application, such as Internet Explorer .

Windows XP Professional: If your status is 'connected', click properties before moving on to step 12.
4. If Wireless appears on your network list, select it and click . Launch a web browser to see if you are directed to the Wireless login page to authorize your connection to our wireless network.

ethernet card is missing, skip to the section of this document. Connect Using Network Hardware Settings
6.Under This connection uses the following items you should see:
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
7. If the TCIP/IP network protocol is not installed, you will need to add it, otherwise, skip to step 12.

9. Select Protocol and click Add. This will open the Select Network Protocol box.
10. Select from the list of available protocols. Click to exit the Network Control Panel and install the

2. Click on the Hardware tab.
3. Click on the Device Manager button.
4. View devices by type. Expand the list of network adapters by clicking on the sign by the Network
