Have an Acer Aspire 5100 that takes at least two minutes for the Broadcom wireless to connect to the network, and another minute to the internet using Vista Premium SP1. It takes no time when booting into Ubuntu. Hence, why I believe its a Vista issue, or a driver issue.
Any ideas where to start. I've been working on fixing this since November and gotten nowhere.

Have you updated the broadcom drivers? For me it's the other way, instant on Vista and about 1 minute on ubuntu

Well, the drivers are from Dec 2006, and when I click to update drivers, windows tells me there the most recent. Broadcom doesn't appear to provide drivers directly to end users and there's nothing newer on the Acer site.
Just checked again, the drivers on Acer's site are actually older than what I have on my system.
Vista slow to connect
