Broadcom Mini-NIC

Question

I have a Inspiron 5100 that is wired with the wireless antenna for the Mini-NIC.  I have purchased a Broadcom (model: BCM94306MP) card and installed it with the newest driver from the Dell Website for the Truemobile 1300 (driver: R115321.EXE).    The problem that I am having is that it will recognize my Linksys network which is WEP enabled and access it for a short time and then it looses the Gateway and will not connect.  I previously had a Linksys PCMICIA card (model: WPC54GS) card installed and it worked without any problems.   I have not changed the MAC address for the card nor have I changed any of the other software settings within the Truemobile software.   Why is it that I keep loosing the network connection?   Any information that you can provide me with assisting in the resolution with this problem is greatly appreciated.   Thank You,   Ray Brown Geneva, OH - USA

Please uninstall any previous wireless drivers inlcuding the Linksys driver from ADD/REMOVE programs. Then install the following driver R143355 for the miniPCI and R115321 for the PCMCIA card.
