Dell Latitude D610 with Broadcom 430x wifi issues and looking for alternatives

[CArce]

We have several Dell Latitude D610's that have been repurposed and/or resurrected thanks to Ubermix, but I have tried utilizing Dell provided and Broadcom drivers to get wifi functioning following http://wiki.ubermix.org/page/Broadcom_Wireless as guidance due to the laptops having Dell 1450 Dual Band WIFI(Broadcom 430x)Mini-pci adapters, but cannot get them installed at all.

At this point I am looking for a newer wireless adapter in mini-pci or usb form that works "out of the box" so to speak or install without much headache. I have found some wireless usb adapters based on Realtek's RTL8188 which is encompassed under the RTL8192CU driver on Monoprice.com which are under $10 each. If these could work I am for it. Does anyone have an idea whether these would work based on the RTL8188 chipset? If not could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Cruz

Have you tried the instructions here?: http://wiki.ubermix.org/page/Dell_D600 I know the 8192CU driver works, if you decide to go that route.

I don't think that page was there last time I visited this issue late October so I haven't tried, but I will now  I'll report with findings. Thank you Jim!
