Missing network drivers

[Tinkerpuss]

A few weeks ago I posted a question relating to my Acer Aspire 0722 notebook. I had downloaded the trial version of Windows 8 and found that it had wiped out my Windows7 (64 bit) files.
Thanks to the Answerbank, I have managed to re-install my Win 7 with Win to flash and a flash drive. I now have the problem that I cannot connect either wired or wirelessly to the Internet and get the message that there are no network drivers installed.
Is there a way I can install this, again with a flash drive? I know the internal network adapter is an Atheros but not sure how to go about re-installing the drivers.
I have only had this notebook for 3 months and would hate to consign it to the bin due to stupid curiosity about Windows 8.
I will be eternally grateful if someone can solve this problem for me!!!

BTW, if it is get all the relevant drivers and install them.

Oh and just download it on another computer, copy the file to a flash drive and then plug it into the acer, double click the file and click next a few time to install the driver.

I have successfully copied the file to my flash drive and installed it on my notebook. When I double click the file, I get the option of 32,64 bit and ndis6xWin7. If I double click on the 64 bit option, it then says install CD. There are a list of options, none of which Windows can open. If I double click on the Win 7 option, again I get a list of options but I cannot find any offline programme that will open any of these files.
I am losing the will to live!

Did I link to the correct laptop? acer's product numbering makes it really hard to find the correct drivers.

ChuckFickens, sorry for taking so long to get back to you but you are a star!I totally re-loaded Win7 onto my flsash drive along with all the network drivers from the Acer download page you gave me the link to and my notebook is working perfectly again.
I cannot thank you enough as I really was about to give up hope.!!!
