Problem with GINA chain after enabling Broadcom driver prelogon feature.

I need help with a somewhat advanced problem.  I have 2 applications installed that both modify the GINA(Graphical Identification and Authentication) chain.  They are the Broadcom wireless drivers and a passlogix password manager.

 My problem is that if I enable the Broadcome Pre-logon feature, I lose the features of my Password Manager.

This is because the broadcom application changes the HKLM\software\microsoft\winnt\current version\Winlogon from the passlogic.dll to bcmlogon.dll.  Unfortunately once it changes the dll, it does not reorder the GINA chain to include the passlogic.dll as it should; it simply bypasses it and goes straight to the default msgina.dll which breaks my other application. 

I have tried manually reordering the chain by placeing a reference to the passlogix.dll at what looks to be the appropriate key under HKLM\software\broadcom\802.11 but it still doesn't seem to work.

I suspect there is another broadcom registry key I need to set to force the broadcom drivers to pass the gina information through but I cannot figure out what it is.  Does anyone have any information on such a key?
