    Hi everyone. Thanks to this forum, I decided on buying a M6811 about a month ago, and could never be happier! However, I come upon the need for some help.

    Ok, perhaps you may or may not consider this stupid, but today I decided to install Windows XP Pro x64. I did so, and wow, the notebook runs like a dream now!

    HOWEVER...in the reformatting process, my drivers for my wireless network went missing!! =( As emachines only packs a restore CD, I don't have driver CDs, and it does not specify the model of the wireless card. I'm looking for any kind of help to fix this. Thanks =D

    Broadcom hasn't released 64 bit drivers yet, to the best of my knowledge. Here's a thread with more info...

    Plug it in, go fast.
