Just for grins, I also got the R90507.EXE package (non-U.S or Japan), built the module, which loads, and associates, and works just fine, thank you very much. As a matter of fact, I'm using it now. Remember, my laptop is a Gateway MX6121 with a Broadcom BCM94318 mini-PCI card. this is what I see for the card in dmesg; ndis0: Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card mem 0xb8004000-0xb8005fff irq 17 at device 4.0 on pci6 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 Go figure...
