    Hello. My wifi card on CF-29EWPGZKM (1.3GHz) stopped working. I tried to relode the driver, but when I turn the wifi on....the blue screen of death is present and the computer keeps rebooting. My intention is to replace the Intel PRO Wireless 2200 BG (the original card) with Broadcom BCM4318 WLAN-bg Mini PCI. The big problem is, that I can't find a working driver for it.
    My CF-29 is running Windows XP PRO with SP3. 1.5GB RAM, 160GB HD.
    Anybody knows where to find the proper driver? The only driver I could find
    for this card is for DELL computer, but no luck using it on CF-29.
    I would also like to install this card in CF-28, 1GHZ model also with XP SP3 and max memory ( I have 3 cards, bought new, but with no driver).
    Thank you in advance, regards, Voytek.

    This is the card I used in both my cf-28 and cf-29.
    I have the driver but don't know how to get it to you. It is about 2.4mb.
    Let me know what to do
