So which driver are you using now? I can't find any new driver for this Broadcom card, cause Lenovo didn't even mention which model we are having.

yeah. that's what i noticed! it was mcafee all along. WTF! but still the wireless signal strength is quite low because this one is 2 antenna model. other wifi n comes with 3.

driver is not an issue for me. the broadcom issue is because of the mcafee antivirus. i uninstalled it and the wifi cantik already.

so many thing mcafee load during startup. refer to picture attached.

and i have called lenovo support center. they mentioned to me i can ask the technician to change my wifi card to another manufacturer one if the problem persist.
just bring my laptop to plaza ibm near one utama there then can already.

Nope, I uninstalled McaFee the 1st day I got this notebook.

I tried to reformat and re-install win7 as well. But still can only get max 72mbps only.

While my 4.5 years old Dell can easily get 150mbps on the same wireless router.

Can you check the wireless model on the device manager ?
And also check the wireless setting, change the 20MHz to auto if available.

u can use caddy off course.
but?
1.usse cddy ur overall cost higher than single msata
2. most dvd's sata is 3gb. means can put hdd only
3. qualiyyty of ur caddy determine how high ur hd temp will be
4. msara just plug in and screw it. gaodim. why choose a more complicate method?

to avoid it getting dirty, i bought a piece of laptop protector (rm5? 10? forgot) and stick it on the top cover - solved. abt subwoofer - so far i know only Asus N56 got, which else laptop give you subwoofer wan? also, even if you have one, will you actually lug it around everywhere u go? actually, the speakers of Y480/580 are one of the best already on laptop, other than Asus N56.

Some says its an early draft-n wifi card, so might have incompatibility issues.

Anyone opened the wifi card and it got two antenna or one antenna attached ?
