Hi all, i've just recently installed Vista Ultimate on my laptop. Previously had XP SP2 and worked great. So far first impressions are good for vista, seems nice and quick.

However i've got one major problem and that is with my wireless connection. I can connect to my router and after a few mins it will say connected but looses the network connection. And then the connection will disconnect completely. The wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4306KFB Mini-PCI 802.11g. This worked wonders under xp. It was detected by Vista's own driver and shows up as Broadcom 802.11g Wireless adapter. Could it be a driver problem and could someone recommend me a place to get a driver from?

Also does anyone else have trouble with vista and wireless?

Thanks
 
If possible get online using you ethernet connection, then do a windows update, obviously leaving your mini-PCI card plugged in

I detected new broadcom drivers this way for a USB dongle i was using and had no problems afterwards.
 
I've done that. Was running an ethernet cable at 1am this morning out the window upstairs and in the one downstairs!!! It didn't find any new drivers. Might try the XP drivers and see if they'll work.
