Default Vista does not see my wireless adapter

I have the same issues with a USR8022. Can only be used if the security is
turned off. I've tried everything and have no idea where to go from here. USR
has no plans to provide firmware upgrades either.

Anybody from MS reading these?

I was finally able to get the wireless USB Linksys adapter to work on my PC.
Here is how I did it:

1. Used the upgrade option from within Windows. (I’ve heard don’t do this,
but tried it anyway.)
2. Downloaded current updates. Got a message stating that the Linksys
Network WUSBG was not friendly with Vista. Continued with install/upgrade
anyway.
3. After upgrade (this took about 2 hours on my system with what appeared to
be a 30 minute stall), I went to Programs to Uninstall the Linksys WUSBG
software and adapter.
4. Unplugged the usb adapter.
5. Rebooted the computer.
6. Re-plugged in the adapter.
7. Vista saw it immediately and installed the correct driver.
8. BINGO! Internet access with the wireless network.

Well, maybe not such a big Bingo afterall. It seems that the only way I can
connect is if I remove WEP/WPA settings from the wireless network. Basically
leaving everything open. I haven’t been able to solve this problem yet.
Maybe someone else can. Linksys is not suppling new drivers for Vista at
this time. (Router W54G).
This might get some people started in the right direction though.
