Wireless Not Working After installing Vista

Hello, I have a Gateway MX7515 notebook with a Broadcom wireless adapter. My
problem is after installing Windows Vista, attempting to install the broadcom
driver crashes my computer. I found the latest driver which is version 4.xxx
and installed it. Now when I try to connect to my router, I get the limited
or no connectivity statement. Is there a new driver out there for Vista that
can fix this. I tried live chatting with Microsoft, Gateway, and emailing
Broadcom, but no help.

Similar problems for me with Vista. I had to disable IPv6 driver in the
network configuration. still have v4 enabled. But I have to reset my router
after every time I connect one of my XP comupters through that router and
then want to reconnect the Vista laptop. The issue has to do with getting
through the router to my DSL conenction for DNS access at AT&T. The simple 10
second router power reset "fixes" the connection. The other computers are
not impacted at all. Frustrating. Vista gives little help.
