I believe this is used for wireless internet, since that is the only thing not working. I do not know if this helps, but it did work in the past, I have had the laptop for roughly a year. I continued to use the drivers online and on the vista cd to reinstall the "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter" driver. I sent my computer through the gauntlet of the dell diagnostics that took a little over an hour and nothing was found wrong. I formatted back to Vista and saw that a driver was not functioning. Nevertheless, I had the Vista cds sent to me from Dell. Yes, I see in hind sight that was a bad idea. I wanted to format but I could not find my vista cds so I just took my XP cd from a past desktop(also Dell). Let me first start by saying what put me in this position is pure stupidity mixed with a little ignorance.
