Windows 10: BCM94352Z driver installs, no networks found. Plot twist.

Hi all,

I recently replaced the WLAN card in my X1 Carbon with a Broadcom BCM94352Z. Specifically the Dell DW1560 pictured here.

Upon installation there were no issues with the BIOS, the laptop booted without a whitelist error. When Windows 10 started the device was detected and a driver was downloaded via my ethernet connection.

With this driver, and appx. 15 others that I have tried (not an exaggeration, really) it says the Wi-Fi is on but no wireless networks are found.

I have attempted the obvious:
Checked the Airplane mode button,
Made sure the wifi switch was on in the network menu.
Etc

Driver Info:
Provider: Broadcom
Driver Date: 7/30/2015 (really recent!)
Driver Version: 7.35.295.0

So with my background, reading this post I first three thoughts go like this.
1. The hardware is defective.
2. The hardware is incompatible with the X1 Carbon.
3. Probably a hardware switch.

So here is the plot twist - I have a triple boot setup. I am experiencing the same exact behavior in Linux (bad card right?) but of all the operating systems it works in OSX! What!? -- This card is meant for the XPS 13 9343 laptop, not a Mac.

That fact alone is why I am posting in the drivers section over the network one. I think it has to do more with the driver and initialization than windows networking services. Any ideas or thoughts on how to debug this?

Thanks!
JC

HP Designjet Driver Not Working Now

I have been using an HP 450C x64 driver in Windows 7 x64 to plot drawings to my HP 250C Plotter, I lost the ability to plot in colour but I could live with that.

Now I know that this plotter is ancient but I looked after it and it was working perfectly well for what I needed.

Since upgrading to Windows 10 I can no longer send anything to the plotter without an error ocuring.

The plotter is seen by windows in Printers and Devices.

I have been through the whole driver install process for a printer not listed, I have done the Have Disk option with the OEM.inf for list of devices then selected the .inf file for the driver and it all installs without a problem.

Has anyone got any ideas as to what I can do in order for Windows 10 to plot to this device, failing that I am going to have a hefty sum to pay out for a newer plotter.

Windows 10 is good I like it but why can't they just make sure that drivers work, I wasn't expecting to have to pay a fortune to get back to where I could actually do some work and be able to plot it.

I am not happy.

 

No Wifi networks found

Is your router set to broadcast the SSID?

You can also click on the wifi catcher. Are you within range of your wireless router? Make sure there is no switch to turn on the wireless on the desktop.

 

Hi I've got the exact same problem with the dell dw1560 (broadcom BCM94352Z) :
no whitelist error with bios
drivers detected and installed for WLAN and BT4.0 (7.35.295.0)
I've also tried many drivers from Lenovo, HP, Broadcom with no luck.

==> no wireless network available...
==> Bluetooth works fine!

Any update or help would be appreciated *Smile

 

Same problem with my Lenovo T450. This card work perfectly with hackintosh, but i can't find any driver or solution to make this BCM94352Z (DW1360) work with Windows 10

 

Latest driver is v7.35.344.0, have you tried that?
Otherwise I suggest to test an Windows 7 driver, (v6.30.223.228) whether this works.

Cheers
Tom
