    Dell has released Quickset for Vista x64 on the Studio 17! Get it from the link if you need it. Not sure what other models this will work on.

    Awesome. This finally solves my NIC driver that would not load. Thank you for posting this.

    Nice, I was having a terrible time getting the Broadcom driver to work. Good thing I use wireless mostly.

    x64 Vista behaves differently at random times when it comes to drivers and signatures. Some people are able to load a driver or signature with the exact same MS updates, service pack, and configuration as someone else who is not able to. I did a lot of research trying to figure out what the problem was and ran into this situation a number of times. I work in IT and I am not so dumb I cannot load a driver. My machine simply would not take anything until Dell released this broadcom driver.
