Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a specific driver for the broadcom mini-pci BCM94306MP 802.11 b/g for the Sager 5620. I intalled the card and antenna wires into my laptop and am using the dell truemobile 1300 driver. The performance is atrocious: I can barely pick up a signal. Do I need a specific wireless card to work for my Sager 5620? There is a driver listed for wireless mini-pci under the Sager 5660 series; it did not work for my card.

UPDATE:
I now have a broadcom driver, but the reception is still poor. I'm thinking it could be the antenna wires. Maybe they are picking up interference from the speakers or other metal around the lcd? I routed them around the perimeter of the lcd screen. Should I have put them behind the lcd instead?

Also, what are the orange flattened ends of the antenna for, and how should they be properly installed?


I ended up just sticking them to the inside of the lcd case with electrical tape.

Or is the card possibly bad? I'm thinking if it was bad, it wouldn't pick up at all? But if so, what card would you recommend to go with the Sager 5620/Clevo 5600P?

Or is it that the reception with my model of laptop isn't going to get any better, and I would be best to just stick with the external PCMCIA card? I still like my trusty 5 year old external wireless lan card, but I thought installing internal would give me better reception (also wireless g capability) and free up the external slot for a USB 2.0 cardbus, etc.

Any ideas? Thanks
