My friend had a "WUSB54GS - Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speedbooster" and i recently installed vista for him and the antenna will just not work! at first i used the windows wireless software but when it connected to the router and it said there was 2 connections and it wouldnt connect to the internet, so i thought i might do the sensible thing and get the official drivers/software, so i did and when i tried to install it besides it not giving me the right network security option it just got stuck on 30% and didnt budge for hours, there were 2 versions of the drivers ver 1 and ver 2 number one just got stuck like i said and number 2 the install wizards wrighting was all skrewed up and misplaced so im pritty sure its vista not being compatible, does any one know of any drivers for it that support vista? and any info in general about this problem?

Linksys adapters seem to have the most incompatibiltiy with Vista. I have D-Link fortunately. But here's a disclaimer from Linksys in regards to Vista:

D-Link, aren't they the best? I'm also using a D-Link wireless adapter too, but our router is a Linksys Wireless-N. Yeah, my stupid roommate upgraded our router without telling us. I guess, yay? I want the Wireless-N adapter on to see if there really is a 12x speed difference

I asked him why he did it, because the other guys were complaining that they've been getting more frequent dropoffs now. We had compatible wireless g adpters so I don't know if the N had anything to do with it (although the router claims to have wireless g support too). I don't know why he upgraded it because our old Linksys Wireless G SpeedBoost was working great with rare dropoff. One of my other roommate (there's like 5 of us living in a house) says if he gets disconnected one more time, he's gettting a Wireless N adapter. Ha, it already did, lol. He's pissed...maybe it's stupid Time Warner, or there's just a lot of people online.
