Not long ago I got a cheap second hand Panasonic Toughbook to use at work. It came equiped with an Intel 2100 b mini pci network card, that kept disconnecting when a large file or large amount of data was downloading (even videos from youtube). So that begged for an upgrade. I got of Ebay.com a really cheap broadcom 4318kfbg card but the driver on the seller's page for some reason was not working and the card was useless. Contacting the seller, he told me that he had a driver for the card, but being rather slow to send it and check, I looked online for an alternative.
After bypassing the paid drivers websites and after numerous trials and errors with a variety of files found online I finally found this which as the name file (R151517.EXE) claimed was the perfect much for this card. (Thanks Robert)

It was indeed! Although the file failed to install on its own, since it was meant for Dell laptops, automatic search for the correct driver in that folder found the proper file to install and recognized the card as a "Dell Truemobile 1300 wlan". And immediately it poped a window with the available wireless networks.
Finally it works.
