    Oh you have the R1 my bad on that bit. Don't use the Dell drivers because they're iffy, granted its not Dells fault just broadcom cannot make a driver worth a damn.

    I don't get it, why is it that it seems like the only Wi-Fi card manufacturer who can make "decent" drivers is Intel? Broadcom drivers are generally crap, Killer networks are generally crap... It can't be that difficult lol.

    Give me a minute or so to boot up my R1 and find you the driver you need.

    You could, I haven't personally tried it. I know that one works because its the one that I and numerous other people who have the same wifi chip use.

    The Dell drivers are outdated.
