Is there any network interface card that - out of the box - will work
with Vista? I have a Netgear FA311 that doesn't see the network, even with the latest "beta" drivers. I'm not sure it is the v. 2 model. WLW |

Have you tried something like that? Already tried that - a no go. I did mean to mention that I need a pci card. Supposedly the Netgear GA 311 will work but don't want to get one and it not work. |

WLW The v1.80 drivers I've been using in XP work in 32-bit Vista with my v.1 model (Mine's is a FA311 v1 revB model, check the label on your card for the exact model/revision). Vista warns you that the drivers aren't signed, but you can install them anyway on 32-bit Vista, not so sure about 64-bit. I don't know how stable they'll be for heavy p2p use, but for general browsing they seem to work perfectly. Have a look on the net for the v1.80 drivers, if you can't find them let me know and I'll either host them for you, or email them to you. |
