BCM94312HMG Drivers

I have a 1545 dell laptop and for the life of me I can't get the drivers for the wireless. Its a BCM94312HMG card. Not listed on their site for this machine. Link please.

I don't have a machine on me to test this with. I suggest doing a scan of the file before using.

Not sure why it didn't work before but I went through the drivers for this laptop again and one worked. Maybe I didn't try it before. Old age I guess. 57 this month. Thanks for your quick response.

Mazal tov for your B day kodiak ;)

There is some great DVD that have a collection of lot of drivers that saved me lot of time. I suggest for any technician to use it :

edit: Dell, like other companies, apparently buy bulk items that are modified to spec and then they call them 'Dell drivers'.

I suspect that's the case here.

I did find that a/the Dell Mini 10 used that model number NIC Wifi chip - could also try the Dell driver there -> http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/...piron-mini1012

Oddly this driver is for an Atheros AR8132L wi-fi card which is installed in an Asus netbook. The card in mine failed and I replaced it with a Broadcom BCM94312HMG card I had spare. After finding little info on the card I downloaded a Dell 1545 driver and turned the laptop on. To my surprise however, it works perfectly under the Asus driver and would not upgrade to the Dell driver! This is a copy of the working Asus driver extracted from the 'Pre-Install' folder on the Asus. Running setup might work but if not just point the wizard to the INI files.

I have uploaded the driver to 4Shared. I prefer this site for up and downloading but it may require you to register for the free downloads.
