thank you for the link! i was getting annoyed as the Dell support website didn't have the drivers for the wireless card.

a lot of the versions didn't seem to work on my machine, but the "Broadcom 943xx v4.170.27.12 driver" file finally worked.

thanks again!

Drivers and Downloads
Unfort.ly the file is not yet online.

Dell's Broadcom driver version is rather old and outdated...
Look to my link above for latest Broadcom wireless driver v5.10.91.8 backwards compatible with Dell Wireless 13xx/14xx/15xx, ect.

Thanks for the detailed fixes' list.

Yesterday, I was just looking for the Wireless driver as I switched from Ubuntu 8.04 to XP, just to compare the eXPerience on the Mini 10v with the several PCs under XP I used.

That's why I wanted to share the DELL link, some people look for official drivers rather than fixed and recent ones. I'm just looking for the one that works as good as possible.

These are Vista drivers, not made for 4312BG also. Did you test them with the 4312BG that comes with 10v by default, under XP ?

Yes. It is backwards compatible with Dell Wireless 1395/1397 if installed via device manager under XP!
