So they release drivers with different version numbers and on different schedules, containing different features than the manufacturer-provided drivers and carrying the Microsoft label. Why would the manufacturer write two different sets of drivers and give one to Microsoft, when their own drivers are WDM-certified?
I'm not attacking you; I'm simply commenting on a general statistic I observed based on my experience.
(And trotting out a second account isn't all that helpful to your cause.)
you've ignored my other post to Peace, haven't you ? I've shown you, with the evidence you said you need. I got the Broadcom webpage, and I showed Peace the fact that non of Broadcom's chipsets are advertised or featured to be 802.11n, and then I showed him a mirror for downloading WHQL'd drivers to enable FREE n-support on supporting Broadcom chipsets. That's the one you'd need if you use an iMac with windows xp and need a n-driver, or enabler.
If you've been learning this so called "general statistic", then please, do yourself also a favour, and pony up on your logic and statistics.
(Trotting out a second account, eh ? Can't bear to be wrong, can you ? For your information, 64Bytes is my friend, we're not even of the same ethnicity, much less your idea...)
So, why don't you hold posting for a second, and look at Broadcom's website, and download that driver (or any of the previous versions up to version 4 or so) and see that the history says I'm right, that people have been getting free 802.11n for a while. I'm not sure who makes the wifi chipset for the mini or the macbooks, so I can't take you to their website, but this "hidden-n" functionality has been talked about a lot on the internet back WHEN the technology came out.
