Broadcom wireless network card

jon2432

I've installed a Broadcom wireless network card in my latitude C610.

It detects new hardware and asks for the software. I downloaded it from the dell site and unzipped it as per the instructions. When I follow the update driver instructions it says its not at the specified location. The location was entered as per the instructions. I can see the folder and the file. The computer cant.

The card was "used" so no drivers etc. Its a Dell True Mobile 1150 Series Mini-PCI Card.

Help please

have you got the correct file,, it should have a wldel48b.sys file somewhere.

did you unzip everything to a new folder?

jon2432

All the files unzipped. I can see the files etc. The computer cant. When i follow the install procedure, it asks me to name the file to install. Then the computer says cant find file name etc.

Do you have 13 files in that directory including WLDEL48B.INF

jon2432

Yes, WLDEL48B.INF has setup information under it

The only thing I can think off is to highlight the inf file and ok, or browse to it in explorer, right click on the inf, and install. Are you sure you have a truemobile card? Was it off ebay? mini pci card, or pcmcia?
