Wireless and Network Controller Issue

The XP driver for that card should work.

I tried the XP and W2K drivers and did not work. Any other suggestions?

I used the cd that came with my system. The one where you select the operating system then the category.

After installing the driver I went to the wireless panel to choose my network and it said it was controlled by windows. I tried unchecking the check box that enabled windows to controll but it never took. Where can I find the company who wrote the driver, there might be an updated one.

Broadcom made the 1300 card, but you'd need to know the chipset number off the card when you go to www.broadcom.com ald look for the support sownloads.
