Crashes system with dmesg errors in log (Link 1 Below).Stops any receiving/transmitting traffic (Needs reboot to temporarily fix).Keeps asking for password even on cases where AP does not have any.Stops searching for other devices (Does not see any other device).Connections timeout after several minutes or hours.Common problems that will be solved (Apart from drivers not installing) are: After you follow this guide, you will NEED to test your wireless connection for at least 2 hours (I actually recommend 8 hours) with another device in either Ad-Hoc Mode, Infrastructure Mode or Both. In total we wanted to offer an answer that could be easy to follow and covered most Broadcom Cards / Drivers. Special thanks to chili555 who helped in the Ubuntu forums and on this site with many questions related to Wireless devices and to others who have contributed through E-Mail, chats, IRC and more in testing various drivers with several of the most popular Broadcom Wireless cards (Huge Thanks to Chili555 really. If anyone can gelp, it would be greatly appreciated.This answer is based on an extensive research done by various Ubuntu users that worked together in almost all issues related to Broadcom.
The driver I am currently "using" is version 4.150.22.0. I have no idea what the problem is seeing as even if I uninstall and reinstall the driver, I still get the same problems. Although it now finds the drivers, I am getting an error that says "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. I then patched XP with SP3 and finally the device was able to recognize the drivers but with another problem. At first there was the problem that when I installed the drivers, XP would not be able to identify them and wouldnt install them. Upon installing the drivers for the computer, a problem came up when I tried to install the WLAN drivers for my Broadcom card. I currently formatted my Acer Aspire 5520 laptop as I was hoping to put XP pro on it instead of Vista due to Vista being a little too resource heavy for my liking.
