Linksys PCI Adapter with SRX WMP54GX no driver available
Well here it is months later, and now here I am needing to do the same thing.
So, I did a search and yep, that driver can be installed using Windows Update. Course Vista doesn't include a way to get on a network with no network installed. Worse yet, I have been searching for the driver for 30 minutes and this is the closest I have come to it, and therefore I will mark this post as helpful since this is probably all I will get out of my little trek here. BTW, I don't blame Linksys for this, I blame Microsoft. It's obvious that they are doing one of two things he A) Lying about the fact that they have the driver or B) Too ignorant to actually make the drivers available in a reachable location. My solution will be to return the machine to Gateway, and explain to them why. Maybe they can fix the issue.

I'm extremely disapointed in cisco for this, i have sent them an email expressing this, i was told by linksys tech support they do not support 64 bit o/s either xp 64 or vista 64 and do not know when they might. Maybe microsoft will come to the rescue and make one, or if enough people complain to linksys/cisco something will happen, in the mean time, i've got an expensive wireless adapter i can't use in anything but 32 bit windows on my 64 processor. lol "Dunc" wrote: I am using the 64bit version of Vista Beta 2, and need a network card driver for the Linksys PCI Adapter with SRX WMP54GX. I checked the manufacturers website http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...=1122062238277 and no joy. I tried the vista upgrade advisor, and it said "Get driver from Microsoft Update". Where exactly should I be looking (bear in mind I can't connect to the internet from my Vista client)? I did some internet searches for the driver, but only found a link about someone else with the same issues. |
