Vista - Dell Latitude D505

Anyone get a dell notebook using the 1350 wlan mini-pci card working? Seems
to be based off a broadcom chip.
Vista picks the card up as a broadcom, and it will let you connect to the
local network and browse it. It shows connected to the internet but won't
actually go anywhere, it comes back with dns errors. I had the same problem
on my ECS notebook until I found some drivers on Ralinks website that worked.

I have tried drivers off of dells site, and they all have the same problem
with connecting to the internet, but the local network browsing, sharing, etc
works fine.

How are your IP and DNS addresses set up in your TCP/IP properties for the
card?
