Windows Embedded Compact - Broadcom 5720 1Gb Dual Port LOM Driver
Need help locating the 32Bit driver for the Broadcom 5720 1Gb LOM for Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WinCE 7). According to the Microsoft Embedded Compact 7 page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/embedded/gg154234%28v=winembedded.70%29?redirectedfrom=MSDN#device-drivers, any Network driver interface specification (NDIS) 6.1 compatible Broadcom driver should work but I am unable to locate it.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 was released on March 1, 2011
Dell does not provide support for 8 year old hardware.
Typical SDLC is 5 years maximum. Broadcomm had a falling out years ago with microsoft so there are no new generic drivers to be had ever again.

The 3010 driver cab file seems to have the 32 bit driver.

Download and then extract the cab file inside my documents folder using 7zip.
