Toshiba, like many laptop companies probably have a different device ID for the chipset. They do this so that you cannot install a driver from the main website but must wait for Toshiba to do its own verification that the new driver will be 100% compatible and give no issues. You can get around this by "hacking" the driver and inserting your own device IDs into the driver compatibility check. I cant remember how to do it off the top of my head, but it involves pasting your device ID and other things related to it over the device ID for the mobility 4500 compatibility
