three words. Use XP Drivers. I do it all the time and my vista build works
better than XP.

The XP drivers work correctly for the WUSB54GC wireless adapter under Vista
Beta 2 x86. Vista manages the wireless connection on its own, rather than
using the Linksys program.

This device does not work on the Vista x64 version. Vista will correctly
detect and identify the device, but will be unable to install the drivers. I
have seen various proposed work-arounds (specifically for XP64) but I have
not been able to get these to work, either.
