Is this compatable?
hey guys, i had a WUSB54GC wireless network adapter for my xp system and i just got a new windows vista 64bit system and that network adapter is not supported. In the last thread i had someone suggested this one that should work with a 64bit. 'http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16833129160' (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833129160) Can anyone verify that this would work? i was looking all over the page, and maybe im blind (most likely) but i couldnt see anything saying it will for sure be compatable. I guess it really only depends on the drivers for it. -- FeArDaFiSh |

Yes its compatible but you need to download the drivers from smc's website cause the disc only has xp/2000 drivers.

yeah i saw that page in their downloads, i just wasnt sure if that was the 32 bit driver, cuz linksys had a similar download and they didnt specify what version of vista, but since it didnt recognize it with my system, i assumed it was the 32 bit driver. -- FeArDaFiSh |

Nothing that would suggest 64bit at all.. This one is Vista64 compatible though.. http://www.dlink.ca/products/?sec=1&pid=477 -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |

[image: http://www.vistax64.com/members/mans...-untitled.jpg] If you open the downloaded folder from SMC, that is all you get. Presumably, the XP/2000 driver works for Vista 32, but the chances of it working for Vista 64 is zero.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |
