Broadcom install problem
I've got an Acer Aspire with a Broadcom 4311 wireless card, and it was working well, I got good speeds and was able to detect not only my router but others in the neighborhood. So I got the bright idea to try to update my drivers to squeeze as much performance as I could out of it. The install seems to have gone well and DM says the device is working, but now I no longer show available networks and the adapter wont connect. All I did was try to update the drivers from the stock MS ones, yet I'm afraid I corrupted an important file or something. I tried to roll back to the previous driver in the driver cache, but it doesnt work. I've since tried to install other versions of the driver, and all seem to install fine, but the card doesnt respond. I used the SFC to restore missing or corrupt files, but it showed nothing was wrong. Is there some sort of update or bug or other problem with wireless networks in Windows 7 or BCOM incompatibility that I'm unaware of? I shouldve ****ing left well enough alone.
