    :confused: So i've been using this laptop for some quite time now, it's a Gateway MX3228 laptop with all the goodies and whatnot, but when devices are detected and i install the drivers for the rest of the components, the only one that doesn't want to work or install properly is the Realtek RTL 8185L wireless adapter, i've searched all over even dumb Gateway support website, i tried to install the "provided" BROADCOM utility and driver but obviously that's not what came with the freakin laptop...gateway for some reason thinks that. if there is anyone that can help with the drivers/utilities...it'd be greatly appreciated. :)
