    compatibility wireless network...hardware to buy home premium Vist

    Hello I just bought a computer system with vista home premium as the
    platform. I have always used a airplus g wireless pci adapter d-link to
    connect to my comcast wireless network. I looked on your web site and it says
    windows partners with d-link. So I called d-link thinking I am doing
    something wrong. THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY COMPATIBLE HARDWARE FOR
    VISTA YET. I am in desperate need of getting this computer up and running and
    need to know what hardware is compatible with home premium vista so I can
    connect to the internet...your help is GREATLY appreciated

    what is the model # of the wireless adapter?

    if you connect to the Internet using a wired adapter with the pci
    adapter in the machine and go to device manager, find the adapter
    and Update Driver, it will pull down drivers from Windows Update.

    The bulk of DLink PCI and pccard wireless NICs use an Atheros
    chipset. Most of these are covered by the Atheros driver on WU.
