As some of you may know, I got a Dell C640 for my grandmother and ordered a Broadcom based mini PCI card so that it could have wireless connectivity with the provided inbuilt antenna. I waited 2 weeks and the wireless card came from Hong Kong. No biggie there at all.
Anyway, I installed it and Windows XP detects that the card is there and says it's an unknown "network controller", no biggie there either.
Now when I try to install the driver it doesn't install! I've run the stupid EXE file over and over again and it doesn't install and application nor a driver. I even extracted the driver and manually made Windows look for the driver in the extracted files and it still tells me it can't find the correct driver.
This is the card I bought: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/320436515...ht_3458wt_1071
I'm just frustrated it won't work even though I've tried the right apparent driver... unless some fuckwit sold me a fake card that says "broadcom" on the chip but is really some other shit chip in there....
