Vista Supported Wireless USB Adapter / Wireless PCI Card

Hello All,

I have a Netgear WG111 USB Adapter, which doesn't work with Vista.
I am looking for a new USB Adapter / PCI Card which is supported by Vista
(Installed & worked with no hassles).
I tried to find a forum which shows this information, but I couldn't get one.
Can anyone update this with Information for following:

1) Which Wireless USB Adapter / PCI Cards are supported by Vista?

2) Where can I find best information about above (Links if possible)?

Thanks in Advance.

My Linksys WUSB11 Ver 2.6 ("B" spec) works fine under 5384
Not at home, but I'm pretty sure I'm close on the model and version

Vista home basic
 
 

Re: Vista Supported Wireless PCI Card

i have a PCI G wireless card in my desktop with Vista Home Basic and it keeps dropping my wireless connection or it gets a weak signal. I'm only about 20 ft from the router. However, it sometimes picks up my neighbors network.
Anyone out there can recommend either a USB or another PCI card that has Vista drivers and works with a Linksys N router?
thanking you in advance.

It allows the optimizing of the antenna location. My home router is
an EDIMAX 'N'. No problems on the road.
