My dell XPS M1210 intel wifi card kaput today. And I took my old iMac wifi card from broadcom and put into my dell.

Hence its running XP, its hard to get the correct driver for it. But fortunately I came across this broadcom site teaching how to identify the hardware we install into it. http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/determine_driver.php

After getting know the device ID, again we google keyword "broadcom dev_4312 ". And viola! Whole bunch of link to the drivers I am looking for. But still I couldn't determine which windows version the driver is for. I continue to search and saw a link in google to http://wikidrivers.com/wiki/Main_Page. Keyin the device ID into the custom search and it shows the driver I am looking for.

I really impress this site http://www.downloadwindowsdrivers.info. how the site admin maintain this whole bunch of drivers? And also thank to him I could finally got my driver I need for my xp. This is the link

For your information, I worked 6 hours looking for this broadcom driver for my xp. And the broadcom teaching how to identify hardware is really a great help.
