I have tried over a dozen windows 7 drivers for the chip, and about half a dozen vista drivers and they all have the same results, works on the first boot, fails every time after that If I uninstall the broadcom chip and let windows install it after a boot up it works until the machine is rebooted a second time. When I reboot my laptop, all I get is a notification that no networks appear in range. I called Alienware/Dell Support and we spent hours trying to fix the problem and all look well until I rebooted my laptop this morning and the same issue reappeared. I live in a dorm, and everyone else on my floor has successful wireless, including my Ipod Touch, PS3 and XBox 360. Yesterday it started failing to connect to the internet, telling me that no wireless connections are available. This however just cropped up after two months of successful use. I have had several other driver incompatibility issues with Windows 7, but those I have slowly been able to resolve.

As the title suggests, my laptop (Alienware m17x) is installed with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium.
