    Hi, I am another confident customer who thought that Gateway would have ALL drivers online so I just re-partitioned my HDD w/o making the recovery CDs/DVD.
    Well, I have surfed all around and I think I have all drivers EXCEPT for the WiFi adapter...it's supposed to be a Broadcom 4318E (I just opened the adapter bay and saw it).
    Anyone would be so kind to send me the driver or a link yo get it.

    Gateway's website tells that this model comes with an Intel2200BG...but I just saw a Broadcom on it...?????

    Unfortunately, Optendo's link is down ( http://www.blackimperial.com/home/?page_id=13)

    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Optendo!!!!....I was losing faith.... :eek:)
    I brought the Wifi to work mixing the Gateway Support downloaded drivers and ones from a Compaq 2310us that is supposed to use the same adapter.
    Will change for this ones later.
    After everything is in place this is very POWERFUL machine..

    I sued the recovery disk that was included, and it did not load in all of the necessary drivers. I phoned Gateway, and they said that they would send me a drivers disk. I'm still waiting. Anyhow, Gateway does have four drivers on the board. Load in the chipset driver first.
    http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/mydl.asp?OS=Windows XP.
    The 7510 is like the 7515 only with a slower processor and 512meg of ram. With this and that and http://www.blackimperial.com/home/?page_id=13, I managed to get everything up with nothing bad in the device manager. I used the omega video driver and the computer seemed to run a lot faster.

    The mods should sticky a link to Optendo's site [Gateway 7510GX and MX7515 drivers http://www.blackimperial.com/home/?page_id=13] as it has better online Gateway support for the MX7515 drivers than Gateway!!!

    Optendo, if you need MX7515 specific drivers to put on your site let me know. I have the driver DVD.
