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.

Re: Dell Latitude D505

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