Vista - linksys wireless-g usb network adaptor

i'be been using linksys wireless-g usb network adaptor WUSB54G ver. 4 as my
primary internet connection. after installing vista beta 2, i found that
there is no driver for the device even asking from linksys. they said will
release a driver any time soon, but there is no way to use vista beta 2 for
me now. i think beta 2 has very bad driver support.

i remembered when the xp was in beta, driver support for new hardware isn't
a problem. sighs

many people have the same problem. The companies will not do the drivers for
vista with the actual hardware... you know, they want you buy new hardware,
and these will have drivers for Vista.

i think they have to do the drivers at least for recent hardware, or
otherwise customers will lose confidence to buy their products, and affect
the company image.

instant for me, i am so shocked when i heard there is no vista driver for
linksys (a cisco company) latest networking product. this is shame for cisco
i think.

Linksys has horrible driver support. They were the last network company to
come out with 64bit drivers. There are people around the net who write their
own drivers. I would say do a google search.

Yes However, you need to have an internet connection to connect to Windows
Update. It has the update driver for Vista. It finds it right away on Windows
Update (Cisco/Linksys WUB54G).

driver actually is the same one in linksys website, it can't install into
vista beta 2.

Hi Chris again,

If you are unsure about it, pls do not said it like truth. I've spent 3 hrs
to move my PC to the location of my Broandband router and do the windows
update and try to find the driver online in the Vista Beta 2. However, the
case is the same. The driver just can't install into Vista. You just waste
my time. Sorry for impolite but I really weird about this you know.

Where do you get the vista driver for the WUSB54G? I have been unable to find
anything on Windows Update or even where to access that website.

Thanks!
