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.
i dont think you need a new driver. i uninstalled mcafee and the wifi issue ok already.

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.

can change to another wifi card? that's a good news. i wonder if i can change to intel killer afterwards,need to reinstall windows?

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.

there you go =)

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.

so, this problem is because of the bad design of the card or just driver incompatible >
