the next time it let me, and i rebooted again.
#Broadcom wireless driver windows 7 acer aspire m5 drivers
i had installed it earlier so when i went back to the additional drivers program to uninstall it, it kept failing so i rebooted. In order for it to work the STA driver cannot be installed.
so i did a google search for the firmware you specified, brcm80211, and found this: It did work but as you also said it was only b/g speeds. So i tried as you said, went to additional drivers and tried the STA driver as you said.
