Thank you Frank Frank, DELL drivers will not work if you are on a NON-DELL machine. I fixed right now the problem on Windows xp by manually installing the attached .inf and .sys files. On OS X 10.5.6 you should have Airport native support (I have got it...) Bye! drv_bcm4311.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamutman Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 how would you manually install these .sys and .inf files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron74 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi, I'm sure this is all well and after the fact but this driver just bailed me out with my newly installed DW1390 in my aspire one - Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exuptoy Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I had to add new hardware and manually select item then when it showed the item I had to search for the broadcom device (broadcom 5701 gigabit ethernet controller) and save to stick then point it to the software to install it. PITA considering it was meant to be a multi platform device!!!!!! If you are going to use the drivers in post#2 then you have to select network device for a/b/g or it wont work with just b/g , it just won't connect.

jsloat Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi, I'm sure this is all well and after the fact but this driver just bailed me out with my newly installed DW1390 in my aspire one - Thanks very much! I just got an Acer Aspire One as well and ordered the DW1390 and have that installed already but need to set up a Win XP driver for it on a fresh WinXP install. I downloaded WinZip and have the two posted setup and system files. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to cut-n-paste the contents of these files into my system and setup boot files, or replace them. Since the consequences of a mistake here will hose me, I thought I'd ask for clarification on what to do with these files. A buddy let me borrow his HackIntosh USB stick which boots on my computer fine and recognizes the the Wireless DW1390 just fine.

psychoclown420 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi, i think i'm a day late and a dollar short but either way, i have an AAO A150 in which i have installed ideneb v1.4 and ubuntu 9.04. Obviously, the atheros card that came with it worked in ubuntu but not in OS X. so i did what any sane person would do and bought a DW1390 card and installed it. I booted into OS X and it wasn't recognized no matter what i did. I then booted into ubuntu fearing the worst, and it turns out that no drivers were activated. so i activated the proprietary driver and viola, it worked perfectly, better than the atheros card. BUT when i booted into OS X again, the card wasn't recognized. I have spent the last 3 hours booting back and forth from ubuntu to OS X trying to fix the problem but to no avail. I'm open to any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
