Broadcom WLAN {DriverVer=09/26/2012, 6.30.59.81} already included in ..\Le\bcmwl5.inf

Is it not working?

  Noting that additional country support can be added by creating a registry file to contain entries in the [common.reg] section of the .Inf.  This maintains WHQL status by not requiring modification of the .Inf file.  This can ensure proper channel ranges if used properly.  If used improperly, it could be illegal in your jurisdiction, illegal for export, and/or potentially harmful to emergency service providers and/or medical equipment and others.  Therefore, i have not included such registry files.


Is there any interference from previous utilities in DP_WLANutils_wnt5_x86-32_1307252.7z?     hmm

  Also noting that the same utility from the package you linked is contained within ..\Le\BCMle081.exe
    There is one difference though.
      I have taken the liberty to update the VisualC package (2011 vs 2006).

Well usually I am only hold the machines a couple of days. On the windows7 case, I copy the driver pack on a usb and ask windows to search for that driver. If it does not find it then I try to find on the maker website, and forward to you guys..

You could use the NT5 driver on Win7, yet you should probably avoid this for possible security reasons.
It is likely best to use drivers specific to the OS.
The Windows 7 driver should be NDIS6.2, while the XP driver will only support NDIS5.1.

Your mileage may vary.  Mostly it depends upon the weight of one's foot.     smile

PS:  I have not forgotten your request for updated changelogs, just terminally-short of time at this time.
          Like the tortoise, i will get there eventually.

There is no .\Le\BCMle081.exe on the DriverPack WLAN 12.02

Re: [REQ] Broadcom 43142 Wireless LAN Lenovo B590

but DP_WLAN_wnt5_x86-32_1307241.7z  works for me.
