Wireless

Asked by Ali Shtarbanov

The wiresell connection of a gateway laptop does not work. There is not even a proprietary driver available for my card. The windows driver is an exe package but it can be extracted using the arcive manager. Here you can download the windows driver for the wireless network. http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp?sn=new&tab=MY

For the serial numer use t375c71005088 and then for operating system choose windows xp

Broadcomm devices require the firmware to be extracted from the "Windows" driver and loaded via a kernel module.

This link will give you all you need you get your wireless nic up and running.
