BroadCom and Intel both make network interface chpsets, which may come
integrated on the Motherboard or on an add-on card. "PROSet" is an
Intel trademark for some of their network gear. "802.11" is the family
of IEEE standards used in Wi-Fi and related wireless network gear.
So it *LOOKS* as if your machine has a wired Ethernet port using an
Intel chipset, and also a wireless interface using a Broadcom chipset.
I think you said you had a DSL modem for boadband? Then you'll want the
"Intel PROSet" drivers for your operating system.
