WMP300N x64 Driver

[Guest emarvets@gmail.com]

Saw a bunch of unanswered queries getting the LinkSys WMP300N working

on an x64 box. The first thing I found was this link from

planetamd64.com:

It works fine, except that the "Original Broadcom Driver" link is

dead. You can instead find it on OpenDrivers.com here:

 

http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/240342/acer-aspire-2920-broadcom-wireless-driver-v4.100.15.5-windows-xp-free-download.html

 

Download and extract the broadcom/acer driver files to a directory.

Then overwrite the .ini file with this one:

 

http://dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/download.php?id=1151&sid=ed92714c043174a03e327a4fcc888a45

 

Run Setup.exe. The new ini file will invalidate the Windows

certificate, but go ahead and tell it to install anyways.

 

Restart the machine. When the machine is back up, the found new

hardware wizard should launch, if not go into Device Manager, right

click on the unknown network device and tell it to update driver. It

should find the driver now and you will have to tell windows it's okay

to install the driver once again.

 

Afterwards, you should be up and running. Good luck.
