My wireless adapter for my laptop loses connection at random intervals (Atheros AR5B97 wireless adapter). I can be gaming or just browsing the internet before it disconnects and I get an error message that 'The network adapter may be disconnected or broken'. I then have to reset my laptop to get a connection back...bare annoying.

so ..my advise is to reinstall the windows xp ...cause this machine it was on xp from the first ...and this might be just the reason ..those are the drivers for it
also ...you can download Everest software ...and locate the exact name of the wifi platform ..and look after that for a vista driver for it by its name ......this way you cant be wrong ...cause you locate the suitable driver ...not the ones they feed us in packages...

I also purchased two of these computers. I wiped the HDD and installed Win7 Ultimate. I could not get the wireless NIC driver to install. My solution was to use another wireless USB NIC and use Windows Update, Voila everything was fine. Iam writing this post with one of them. I am somewhat confused by your post referring to a Broadcom NIC. Both of my machines have AtherosAR5B5 wireless network adapters and Atheros AR9132 PCI-e Fast Internet Comtrolers. Broadcom has always meant Bluetooth driver to me, but I may be mistaken about that.
I have always thought of eMachines as being the cheapest in both price and quality but I did a rather extensive investigation on netbooks in general and could not find and justification for spending twice as much for a more popular name brand with basically the same capacities.
I don't know how to do one to one assistance on this site, but if you can figure it out I would be more than willing to help you. I am very pleased with these two netbooks!
