Dell :: D620 Broadcom Net Xtreme 57xx MAC Address Settings
Mar 2, 2007
I'm trying to get my local MAC address changed for Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx adapter in D620 running winXP. Based on Broadcom advice this should be pretty straightforward.In Microsoft Windows, right-click the Network Adapter in Network Connections and then click Properties. Click the Configure button and then the General tab. Configure the "Locally Administered Address" parameter by assigning a unique node address for the adapter. Netware: The Mac Address is configured by the adding Node=XXXXXXXXXXXX parameter to driver load command line in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, where XXXXXXXXXXXX is the Locally Administered address.
However after clicking "configure" in "general" tab I see only "Driver Details, Update Driver, Roll Back Driver, Uninstall" buttons, on "advanced" tab I see "802.1p QOS", "Flow Control" "Speed and Duplex" and "Wake up Capabilities", however I CAN'T see "Locally Administered Address".I've tried :
- reinstalling drivers, at the moment using latest from Broadcom, from 2006-12-15
- reinstalling Dell's drivers
- installing Broadcom's Control suite

I'm running an Optiplex 330 with the Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit ethernet card.
The computer is running Windows 7, 64bit, but there do not appear to be any drivers for that OS.I tried selecting Vista 64bit, but there were no drivers. The Vista 32bit doesn't work.
Then I went to Broadcom and found these drivers: [URL] the W764bit drivers didn't change the fact i'm still on a 100Mbit card (as seen on Local Area Connection Status screen and the Device manager)

I have a Dell Latitude D620 and my wireless isn't working. It worked before but then I had a malware/spyware on my computer that blocked my wifi and when I managed to get the program off, my wifi still wouldn't connect. It's not the wireless card because I bought an external one and it did the same thing. It's not my router because my other computer connects to the internet.

What do the broadcom power saving mode settings mean? If power saving mode is enabled, what is the time it takes to go into power saving mode? What does fast mean?

I have a laptop just configured with XP SP3 and the wifi works fine, except at the users house on a linksys router, hosted by comcast. The unit can not see the router right next to it and the wifi can see several other routers in the area. We tryed to use the microsoft install wifi driver with the same problem! My question is can the router be blocking my laptop out? Laptopis a G device and the router is an N device but works with another laptop in the house.
The difference could be the incription used laptop uses 128 and the router is set to 64?

My son was using the computer early today and I got back on and could not get on the internet.Says "Wireless is turned off. Use the wireless ON/OFF switch to enable it" i have tried the Fn+F2 and just F2. I also tried looking for Quickset and I cannot find that either. Saw similar problems looking through other forums but I don't understand much about computers and can't quite figure out what the solutions are. I have a Latitude D620.

Upgraded my D620 WLAN card from original 3965abg to 4965agn for wireless-n support. The card is correctly installed (w/ 3 antennas) and the driver installed correctly but there seems to be a conflict with Dell Quickset utility which gives the error "WiFi Catcher band is not compatible". Tried uninstalling the Dell Quickset, but not sure it completely removed everything. Installed Intel PROset/Wireless but still unable to connect. Could not find a Quick set version for Win7 - from what I have read, it seems the Vista version is noted that it does not support 4965agn.

I can't install the WIFI-/LAN-Driver for my Latitude D620. I tried both drivers which are available on the dell website:
Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN MiniCard
Dell (R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
When I try to install the first one I got the failure message "BASS_REL_5_6 456".I am able to install the second one, but I still got the message, that the WIFI-/LAN-Hardware is uninstalled. Therefore I still can't access to the internet with this computer.

I have an old Dell Latitude D620 and have Just upgrade my wireless deal with BT to Infinity with a new BTHomeHub3.0. The Dell will connect to the internet and I can see it's working because some of my programs can use the internet to function but when I try to use the internet it just stops loading at 5 bars on IE but then stops. I have tried a system restore but this has not done anything and tried a different browser but the same thing has happend.

I have Dell Latitude D620 and bought it refurbished, I did NOT recieve a backup drivers and utilities disk with the laptop. The computer worked fine for about a year I had no problems accessing the Internet at all. Then it crashed and I had to reinstall Windows XP. After reinstalling Windows XP it will not connect to the Internet at all. Even with the ethernet cord directly to the modem. Since it will not connect to the internet I can not do a diagonostics to see what driver it needs. I have tried downloading a few onto my other laptop and then use flash drive to install it on the Dell but have not had any luck with finding the correct driver. I am not that computer savvy and do not know what type of wireless card I even have.

Wireless card is Dell Wirele4ss 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini-Card
Each time I try to launch the Dell WLAN Utility I get a message:
"Internal configuration is inconsistent. Please restart the machine to resolve the problem."
Restarting does not solve the problem.
The wireless card connects fine with Windows managing the connection. But what about the Dell Utility? What can be done so it will launch and I can let it manage the wireless connections?
I have reinstalled the Driver and utility using R115319.EXE

So I bought Dell Latitude E6530. I noticed they were a lot of things missing, since I went to see in the Device Manager. After fixing so many, I have ended up with these. When I connect my laptop through A wire cable, it does connect but when I slide the wireless switch, it enables the Bluetooth but not the wireless, I have enabled Wireless in BIOS and yet nothing.

Purchased the Broadcom wifi 1450 mini card (BCM94309MP) and installed it in the Inspiron 5100 plugging in the pig tails too. Computer recognized it and attempted to install using plug and play XP. Displayed the message that the driver(s) were missing. Went to Broadcom website and found the driver dl site clicked on the BCM94309M site but no driver(s) download available. Where I can download the drivers?

Latitude D400 Win XP sp3. My wireless mini-pci card seems to have died. To replace the original card I bought a Broadcom BCM94318 (model WL5011s (TECOM) ) that was listed as compatible in a D400. No drivers just the hardware. My machine recognizes that the card is physically there but I do not have a drivers for it. Where can I get a driver that works?

Want to use WOL on 8300 with Broadcom Netlink card. Everything seems to be configured correctly: bios, network card, port forwarding etc. In fact I can wake up the 8300 over the internet following a complete shut down, but only if I do it within 3 secs or so, then it fires up OK. If I wait a little longer it will not respond to the Magic packet. I notice something strange which I suspect may be related: when I restart the PC, in the power management of the Broadcom card the box is checked that allows te computer to turn off the Broadcom card to save power, while I am sure that I unchecked it before shutdown. I suspect this setting is somehow overwritten by Windows. mentioned all BIOS setting are to enable WOL. As if Windows is ensuring that the Broadcom card is powered down so it cannot receive the Magic packet to initiate a startup.

I have been trying to update my boradcom 5709c firware, or more acurrately trying to install the Broadcom Network Device firmware, family version 5.2.7 from the drivers page for my PowerEdge T110 running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64. Once the package extract and starts running, I am getting an error that simply says "BMAPI Error", and the program bails out. I really need to update this firmware, and have been looking for manual steps and other ways to get it done and have come up short.
Any other ways to get the firmware to update.

We have a Power Edge T310, sporting two Broadcom 5716C LOM's. We also have a Power Connect 5524 switch. Good opportunity to team the two network connections using 'Link Aggregation (802.3ad)'. Downloaded the most recent management software off the Broad com site. Installed BACS 3 on the Power Edge, running Windows SBS 2011, which has Windows Server 2008 r2 x64 as it's base.
Started BACS and tried to configure teaming. But there's no teaming-section in BACS. I removed, restarted the server and re-installed the Broad com software, but still no teaming section? How do I solve this?

A few days ago, I noticed that my computer wasn't picking up my wired connection anymore while the wireless connection was still working fine. I opened up my network adapters and my Local Area Connection adapter wasn't even showing anymore, only the Wireless adapter. I updated my drivers, tried different cables and even a different router but still no dice. This morning, when I booted up my system, Windows said it was installing driver software for Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Controller. I got really excited when I saw Local Area Connection in my adapter menu and plugged in my ethernet cable. Nothing happened and my laptop refuses to recognize the ethernet cable plugged in to it. It's a Dell XPS 1640, Windows 7 x64 with Service Pack 1.
P.S. Usually a little orange light appears in the ethernet port on my computer when a chord is plugged in. When I turned on my computer this morning with the chord in, the light was on. When Windows finished booting, the light went off.

My wifes Dell D600n with with Intel 2200BG wireless G card was Extremely difficult to get access to internet at first @ 54Mbps, but achieved it after 3 weeks of trying, after I had replaced motherboard, to fix battery charging issue.
The current problem, that i cannot seem to surmount is: I replaced the wireless card with a newer Broadcom BCM43222, Dual band N wireless card, that should be capable of connecting at almost 6 times the speed of the older G card. Unfortunately, the new card seems unable to connect at all.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The wireless switch via keyboard Fn & F2, has been on the entire time. I've tried a couple of different drivers, to no avail. Ive uninstalled/ reinstalled both the card and drivers several times, still no connection. The device manager reports the card is off, at all times, and i cannot find any way to alter this, but, despite the fact that this sounds like it could definitely cause no connection, this is unlikely to be the reason, because it has reported that the wireless card is off at all times since the new Motherboard was installed, and the Wireless G card worked perfectly for the past 2 months, and still does, while the device manager was all the while reporting it was off.
Also the wired broadband connection, via cat 5, had never worked after changing MOBO, Nor did the Dial up modem, til both modem and Ethernet came to life, last night after reinstalling drivers for both the modem and Ethernet. unfortunately doing the same thing for wireless had no effect. All this time the Intel wireless G card has, and still does work perfectly every time i remove the Broadcom Wireless N card and plug the G card back in. Until lastnight, The device manager reported the wireless card had no driver installed. now it recognizes the driver is installed but still cannot connect wirelessly One wireless card driver I tried was called: BROADCOM_ABGN_DD-WRT.zip. I lost track of the name of the other driver that i've been trying. Someone on another forum said after installing BROADCOM_ABGN... That one must go to device manager advanced properties and select US from choices of US, Japan, or Germany, To get this driver to work. I've tried this too. Again, No improvement.
Ive built my own computers for the past 30 years, and repair them all the time, for hardware problems, but I fear software is not my forte. My son, who is better at software. Usually, together, we can solve any mechanical electronic or software malfunction, but we're both stumped by this one. Admittedly, we all sometimes overlook a simple solution while seeking a very difficult one. Whenever I face a difficult malfunction like this, I think of when as a 5 year old I was privileged to accompany my Engineer big brother to a local Airport to repair what i would later learn was a Automatic Direction Finder System, needed before flight. As I sat beside my on the tarmac, watching him sweat bullets trying to effect a quick fix, I noticed something that looked out of place to me, and started chanting his name, Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie... ad infinitum, as kids are like to do, til in desperation he finally dropped his screwdriver withwhich he aws about to dismantle the entire mechanism, and fairly yelled what?, to which I asked timidly, Ronnie are all those lightbulb things (electron tubes) supposed to be lit. he said of course!, and continued working, ignoring me for another hour. Finally when he stopped to scratch his head, I said "If they're all supposed to be lit why is one of them not lit? he insisted they all were, but was adamant that they weren't. when he asked which one, and i pointed to it. He tested it verifying the filament was, indeed, open, and demanded to know why id watched for 4 hours and hadn't said that before.

I just bought an XPS 8300 brand new.After woeking OK a few days, now it connects to the Broadcom Netlink Communication card only after rebooting 3-4 times at cold-start.
All the other home computers are connecting from the first shot. (two laptops and another desktop. They much slower computers.At the begining I have re-installed the driver (from DVD and downloaded), but not this is the problem.
The computer has to get a bit warm.When it does not connect, the Dell Test tool DOES NOT SEE (does not appear in the test list) the Broadcom NetLink Gigabite Ethernet card.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that suddenly has an issue with Wireless Networking. When I try and troubleshoot it shows me that the Broadcom 802.11 Multiband Network Adapter has a Code 10 error and says the "device cannot start." I have tried uninstalling and updating the driver, but it just continues to tell me that it has the best driver every-time I try and update it.If I plug the laptop in to the router with a wired connection it works just fine, so it is obviously an issue with the wireless adapter.what I should do in order to get this to take a new driver so it works again?

I recently got a Dell Latitude D600. I know, it's outdated. I'm running Windows XP SP3.
My problem is that after installing all of the drivers for the Broadcom 570x Gigabit Intergrated Controller, I can't get the wireless to pop up in the bottom right hand corner. I can only connect with an Ethernet cable directly from my router. I have tried many things, even support packages, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've also tried Fn+F2. Also, in the Device Manager I see a "Network Controller" but it has a question mark that is yellow beside it, and I can't seem to install it.
