Netgear MA521 802.11b PCMCIA card.

Im having problems using my Netgear MA521 wireless network card under Windows
Vista. It is being detected as a "Realtek 8180 Extensible 802.11b Wireless
Device" and it keeps giving me an error that "This device cannot find enough
free resources that it can use."

Is it just that there is not yet a Vista driver for this card or is there
something else happening? Any thoughts?

Thank you.

Given that the card is 802.11b and the most recent driver for this card
available from Netgear is dated April 8 2004, I'd hazard a guess that it's a
driver issue. Check back with Netgear periodically or email them about it
to see if they will be writing a Vista driver for the card, and if so, when
they may be doing this.
