With Windows 7 / Server 2008, digital signatures are required and in heavily modifying this driver, the signature was subsequently invalidated.

This means that you MUST FOLLOW THE SUPPLIED DIRECTIONS to INSTALL THE DRIVER.

That being said, Broadcom Unreleased Source Code was used as a base for this driver which now supports:

Windows Server 2008 32/64 (all vers.)

Windows Server 2003 32/64 (all vers.)

Windows 7 32/64 (all vers.)

Windows Vista 32/64 (all vers.)

Windows XP 32/64 (all vers.)

*Linux - You may have to slightly modify the bcmwl6.inf by opening with notepad, holding CTRL+F to find text that reads:

"JP" = %Ja
