What could I do with my Linksys wireless adapter??

My router is in my brother's room, and I'm using "Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with Speedbooster", Model WPC54GS V21. for my PC's internet connection. However, after I install my vista 64bit, the Setup program does not work, it can not be installed. I went to Linksys official website, and it says that the 64bit driver for this adapter is TBD, I guess it means To Be Developed? But what should I do for now? Any way I can make some change of the 32bit driver, and make it work for my 64bit OS?

You can not change a 32 bit driver to make it work with a 64 bit operating
system.

If you can't line up all the 64 bit drivers you need you are better off
running Vista 32 bit until the drivers are forth coming.

If you are using a 64-bit operating system you need 64-bit drivers. There's
no way to make 32-bit drivers work instead. You'll either have to wait for
64-bit drivers to be released or use a device that already has 64-bit
drivers available.
