Yeah, they have adapters few times more expensive than my one :(


Yesterday my friend was nice (and brave :P) enough to let me open his
notebook and test my card in it. Card was detected just fine in his
Windows 7.

Today I managed to test my adapter (with my Broadcom card inside) in
some other PC with PCI Express x1. It was detected again! Motherboard
in this PC is: Asus/Pegatron IPMTB-TK.


So:
1) My Broadcom card is fine
2) My adapted is fine

There must be problem with my motherboard/BIOS/PCI Express x1 slot.

I'm much happier now when I know I don't need to return that adapters
(I bought 2) :)
