DWA-547 D-link Wireless
Hi,
I have a DWA-547 Wireless adaptator from d-link. The drivers for xp are bad for Vista RTM. Do you have the same problem with this PCI wireless card ? Thanks.

You need to connect via a hard wired adapter with the wireless still
in the machine. Windows Update will pull down a working driver for the wireless card. Don't shoot the messenger.

Well, I just can't find any driver for this piece of hardware. I tried it via
windows update and I was not successful. When I tried to search some forum topics I couldn't find any reply that would help me. Or is the driver available now?

I went to D-Link's site and they don't have downloads for the DWA-547. However, here is the link to Vista drivers for the 542. http://support.dlink.com/products/vi...tid=DWA%2D542#

Hm, actually, I have finally found the driver(not with windows update) but
when I install it, it says it can't turn the device on. The driver is correct and the most current one but it still can't turn on. The card itself seems to be active (the light is on) but I can't use it. "Roman" wrote: Well, I just can't find any driver for this piece of hardware.

I am running 64 bit Vista. You have to connect to Windows Update
with a wired Ethernet connection with the wireless adapter also in the machine. The universal Atheros adapter "covers" your DWA 547. Here is the info from inside the latest inf file for the 64 bit driver: ATHR.DeviceDesc.DWA642 = "D-Link DWA-642 RangeBooster N Notebook Adapter" ATHR.DeviceDesc.DWA645 = "D-Link DWA-645 RangeBooster N650 Notebook Adapter" ATHR.DeviceDesc.DWA542 = "D-Link DWA-542 RangeBooster N Desktop Adapter" ATHR.DeviceDesc.DWA547 = "D-Link DWA-547 RangeBooster N650 Desktop Adapter" ATHR.DeviceDesc.DWA652 = "D-Link DWA-652 XtremeN Notebook Adapter" ATHR.DeviceDesc.DWA552 = "D-Link DWA-552 XtremeN Desktop Adapter" ATHR.DeviceDesc.DWA643 = "D-Link DWA-643 Xtreme N ExpressCard Notebook Adapter" ATHR.DeviceDesc.DWA556 = "D-Link DWA-556 Xtreme N PCIe Desktop Adapter" On Sat, 16 Jun 2007 08:14:02 -0700, Roman wrote: Well, I just can't find any driver for this piece of hardware.
