Hey,
I just installed Windows 8 and now my Wifi isn't working, it worked fine on the Developer Preview.
There are no networks found and in PC settings it says "No wireless devices are available".
Same thing when I use a Linksys USB wifi receiver.
I have a Broadcom BCM943227HM4L in my Acer Aspire 8951G.
I can connect to the internet using a LAN cable.
This is what ipconfig says
The network adapter shows fine in the device manager and says it's working properly.
(I've uninstalled Hamachi since this screenshot)
This is my Network Connections (with Acer Launch Manager showing it's turned on)
This is what troubleshooter says:
