I'm gonna give this new driver a shot, if that doesn't don the trick I'll try the xp driverStill seems strange to me that the XP driver would fix this problem.

What is the version of this new driver?
well, as always I'm gonna wait a month or so before I allow it on my boxdare you install Vista SP1 when it comes out - might say the drive you have is prolematic and wont let you install it anyway
ya, gonna try it, is there a link?Both dumps point to the broadcom driver.
Time to try the XP one just for kicks?
gonna try the driver on this pageya, gonna try it, is there a link?
editwell, I am using the new driver right now, feels exactly the same as the old driver
will now give this one a few weeks or a blue screen before I report back on this thread
I deleted all versions of the original driver and the os refuses to let me direct where to get this xp driver, even when I tell it which file to get, it simply says the driver is up to date, it get's it's own from I guess protected storagelook in c:\windows\inf
for oemxx.inf (xx being a number) open each one and it should tell you at the top what its for, find the broadcom one and delete it, then try to install the other driver
hehe...I almost edited your post thinking it was minelook in c:\windows\inf

nope, this driver causes total freeze, no blue screen, going back to the latest driverhehe...I almost edited your post thinking it was mine
anyway, I did a search and this is indeed the xp driver, though it's also suupposed to work on vista, but this is what they have for xp since 2006
gonna now wait and see if I blue screen
thanx for the help carpo
