About Broadcom drivers

The BCM4311 and BCM4306 wireless families alone account for over a hundred versions - these cards surface whenever an old but healthy laptop gets a clean Windows install and the Wi-Fi vanishes. The last driver released for the card usually installs fine even on a Windows newer than the card itself.

On the wired side, a NetXtreme or NetLink port showing error code 28 after a reinstall just needs its driver put back. If several adapters look alike, the Hardware ID (PCI\VEN_14E4 on Broadcom) narrows it to the exact controller.
