Default conflict in wireless adapters while setting up drivers


From a Google search, it is apparent that the wireless adapter from
Rosewill uses a Marvell chipset. Chances are, this driver was installed
automatically as part of Windows default drivers, and is probably the
best choice for you. It is the exact same device, even though the
Rosewill name is not found in your system or under the device manager.
It has nothing to do with your motherboard driver CD, as the Marvell
drivers there are more likely for a wired LAN port. I would try
connecting to a wireless network using the adapter, if you have a
network available, and if it works, don't worry about the name appearing
wrong. If you look close enough at the card, you'll probably see the
Marvell chip on the PCB board anyway. This is not abnormal, especially
if there are no 64 bit drivers on the CD. If Vista automatically
installed what it thought was the best driver, and you got no prompts
saying that the drivers are not digitally signed by Microsoft, then if
it works I'd be happy and let it be.
