    Dell Inspiron 1525 >Vista Home Premium] I didn't start having problems until a few days ago and believe it is my wlan minicard because i have problems on my other pcs which means it can't be my connection and i tried connecting dirctly to my router via ethernet and it worked fine (no skipping/studdering) I believe the problem may have started after i installed Vista service pack 1&2 (installed both the same day). I have unistalled service pack 2 & system restore and still having trouble. I've even tried reinstalling video/audio/wireless drivers yet to no avail. I don't want to resort to reformatting or anything drastic. Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone found a solution?????

    You have problems on your other PCs or you don't have problems on your other PCs?

    I'm assuming that's a typo? Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if this is due to the Vista service packs... when you reloaded the drivers, did you get the latest ones?

    If you're Googling for solutions, keep in mind that the Dell 1395 is the same as the Broadcom 4310, a card that is positively prehistoric. The higher end, newer Broadcom cards have given me fewer driver troubles, but the 4310 was enough to convince me that Intel wireless cards are always worth the upgrade.

    I'm sure there's a solution out there somewhere in the older posts. Keep in mind that most people updated Vista to SP1 and SP2 quite a while ago.

    Search under Broadcom 4310.
