SOURCE: Installed XP Pro on Acer Aspire 5050
You need to install some drivers. Did this machine originally come with Vista?

Hi,
In some Acer models, there is a software switch in Start/All
Programs/Acer Launch Manager. If this is missing, you need to reinstall
since even with the WiFi hard switch activated, this application is required. This is so especially if a
new/clean/OEM install of the OS has been done on the laptop.
In some models, there is a hard switch either at the front or at the side to activate the internal wifi (and bluetooth). Still in other, there is button on the leading edge of the computer which also serves as an indicator lamp,
Some models also have WiFI enable/disable in the BIOS/CMOS setup.
Still others have a button along with the Easy-launch strip (top) together with the those for email , bluetooth , Acer Arcade & others.
As shown above, depending on the specific model/region version of your laptop, the WifI activation can be varied.
Hope this be of help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
