Hello!
I occasionally come across a problem I'm incapable of solving, and when I do, Google saves the day. Not this time, unfortunately it seems no one but me has had this problem so my hopes are pretty low. Here it goes anyway.
About a month ago I put windows 8.1 on my HP laptop. Like usual windows had it's own driver for my Broadcom 4322AG Wireless card when I installed it. It didn't take long to notice the downstream bandwidth was crippled. I figured the driver it installed was just a lame one and that I'd install the original Dell driver.
This will surly work if I could just uninstall the current driver. I go to uninstall the driver in device manager. It uninstalls like I'd expect. Then when I refresh the device manager, the wireless card reappears with driver re-installed. The rollback option is grayed out.
For those who want hardware details:
The laptop is an HP Pavilion DV4 1117-nr.
The wifi card is a Broadcom 4322AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n wifi adapter that was originally installed in some Dell Inspiron.
I installed it in my HP for it's 5 GHz capabilities. I've never had issues since I installed it a few years ago. It was fine with Vista and 7.
I can provide information as needed. I even have a terrible cell phone video of the driver re-installing its self.
Thanks.:thumb:
