Fair enough mate, but thanks for posting it anyway. Sorted me right out.

This is more or less the same as I posted in another topic. Can you change the topic to reflect just which Broadcom card this works on, I guess there are more computers that comes with this card than just Inspiron 1520 :)

Worked on my Inspiron 5100 with a Broadcom 4318 card.

Got the driver from my Windows partition, though.
