I installed XP on my notebook but now it can't detect the WLAN card. Looking for a suitable driver. The driver used in the previous OS was for broadcom I believe.

If your notebook has the BCM wifi adapter, see if this driver works...

This driver supposedly has XP driver support for the following hardware ID's...
