    The problem is:
    - i installed Windows XP and broadcom wireless worked just fine
    - after several days it started to give me some problems:the connection was lost and the wlan board couldn`t be located in "Network Connections", but after restart it worked just fine againe
    -after another 2 days my computer can`t find my wireless card anymore, anyware (even in device manager)
    -i reinstalled the windows, but nothing, even before i install the driver, i can`t see broadcom wireless anywere in device manager (note that there are also components uninstaled yet that i can see them with a yellow qoestion mark, like broadcom lan card, but wireless card nowhere)
    -i tryed more versions of windows, but nothing seem to recognize it.

    any advice please ?
