Its not an app. its an INf and a few dll's and such...no installer. The driver packs got my box to work, so i just thought it would work for a few other people too...

im still laughing at the '/gigglesticks' thing... Search=your friend, cmon people

There ya have it! But yes, it took me ages to move from 95 to XP, os of choice has no determination of the n00bness level...unless of course, you're using wfw311 or os2, etc...THEN you must upgrade, er, if you can

Anyone who has this problem, goto: http://www.driverpacks.net/Projects/DriverPacks/ I downloaded the Graphics and sound packs and since i have some sort of strange hybrid monster bus in my notebook, the graphics driver fixed the conflict between devices. and the sound installed a different driver-one that actually works now! So, i am now living happily with wlan and audio in 5219! Hope this helps you some, lotacus. B)

Yes, but doesnt the type of key determine what type is installed...atleast, thats the impression i was under...

Looks time consuming, but props none-the-less for posting this info...i will probably print this for future reference anyhow... B)

I think we should point out too, that we are right even though the build # on the desktop says B2...

I voted for starter edition, just cuz its the same as all the rest, cept cheaper...and then..well...my next step would involve getting that thing that 'unlocks' So poof i instantly have Vista UE! B)

Thanks, Modicr, but that doesnt help our broadcom based wifi cards, or atleast not mine, as i have 512mb of memory and that second article you posted pertains to 1gig...Nonetheless, thanks for posting! EDIT: I should add that I've had this wlan problem since 4029(possibly fails in 4015 also, but ive never had that build);4008 works fine

Finally! someone has my same problem! I found out, too, by exploration, that it is related to the bridge. Problem is, i have an ALi chipset and there are no drivers for it that work correctly on vista.(this is my notebook, by the way). I have gotten my wlan card to work, but the sound will crash/halt the system completely. and every once in a while if i insert the card the system will halt. So in pre-beta1 builds, i would have to choose between one or the other, therefore i couldnt do streaming video or anything like that. What kind of chipset do you have, Lotacus? Your wireless card uses the same broadcom 4306 chipset as my Motorola WN825G, 'cept mine aint got speed-booster...
