Windows 10 and Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter
The Get Win 10 app tell me that my Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter will no support Windows 10 and I may not be able to connect to the internet and I need to upgrade the driver. I have the most recent driver which is version 5.60.48.18.
This is for a Dell Studio 1557 with a Dell Wireless 1520 Wireless -N LAN card.
So will it work or not or should I just not upgrade to Windows 10?

Will I still be able to connect to the Internet with a cable connected directly to the modem?

Come on DELL - WAKE UP!!! I looked at the list of laptops that have been tested with Windows 10 (on the DELL website). My 4 year-old Inspiron N7010 didn't even make it!!! However, my 7 year-old Lenovo is ready for the Windows 10 update with no restriction. This is the last DELL computer I EVER buy!!!!!!!!!
Has anybody contacted Driverscape?
There seems to be a recent driver.
I haven.t tested yet

My 4.5 year old inspiron 2305 all in one has the same issue. I checked the list as well and my machine is not on it. I am ***. I have 4 Dell's in my house and it is also my last one if this is not soon addressed so I can update to Win 10.
I am having exactly the same issue with my Dell Inspiron 3420 (2.5 years old).
The Get windows 10 app says "Broadcom Virtual Wireless adaptar" is not compatible with Windows 10.
Wake Up DELLLL, and release an update of Broadcom Wireless Drivers which are compatible with Windows 10.

Simply stated, "If your computer model is not listed, Dell is not testing the device, and drivers have not been updated for that model.".
