/!\ TOPIC NOW DEPRECATED & CLOSED /!\ By popular demand and building on the guide I wrote for those cards some time ago + the subsequent extended feedback (mostly poor) on users experience, I thought it'd be useful to list those cards and laptops combinations that work or not. People may then opt for BCM450 cards with the best of knowledge. I invite all those who tested such cards to report their conclusions in order to build-up the registry. Important note: This is not a troubleshooting thread, there's already one here. This thread is only to report success or failure stating card model + computer model in order to complete a registry. Non-compliant posts will be deleted without any notice.

Full details of the property injection available here.

Ok, it's perfectly clear. You must be the 1st person for whom the DW1820A actually works nearly OOB!
