DWA-547 D-link Wireless

available once, but it is no longer to be found. Here is the list of cards that are available: Draft 802.11n DWA-130 DWA-142 DWA-542 DWA-552 DWA-556 DWA-642 DWA-643 DWA-645 DWA-652 DWL-3150 DWL-M60AT DWL-R60AT I don't know where you are located, but you might want to try to exchange the card for one that is more globally available.

DWA-547 D-link Wireless
the links someone else posted lead to pages that state unavailable,
closed out, etc. It does not appear on the current D-Link product list. if it were me, I'd exchange it for a different model.

DWA-547 D-link Wireless
Atheros wrote a universal driver for Vista that covers multiple
vendor wireless cards. But I do think this particular one is a problem. On Tue, 19 Jun 2007 15:29:55 -0700, "Captain Roberts" wrote: "Roman" wrote in message ...

I will have to look into this driver and see what cards it does work with. I myself use USB wireless nics. Captain Roberts
