| Wireless pci card for Vista? Are there any wireless pci cards compatible with Vista? I know there are a few USB adapters for Vista but I'd like to keep everything in the box. Thanks, Brett |

I meant the RTL8185 chipset, which is the PCI version. Realtek are being pretty good with Vista driver updates, and they supply the chipsets for many peripherals. ss. |

| Re: Wireless pci card for Vista? Brett: I have three Windows x64 computers running wireless PCI cards, on all three computers the wireless cards function normally. http://ralink.rapla.net/ has a listing by manufacturer for the Ralink chipsets. Also the Broadcom chipset is Vista compatible. I have a Zonet and Hawking PCI card with the Ralink RT2500 chipset and a Belkin PCI card with a Broadcom chipset.

| Re: Wireless pci card for Vista? I bought a Linksys WMP54G, setup it up and connected with no problems. Still can't see other machines on the network in the Network section of Windows Explorer but that another issue posted in the network group.

| Re: Wireless pci card for Vista? If I may butt in........you gentlemen seem to have some idea of what is going on in the world of Vista, so perhaps I could ask what you suggest for my new laptop. I have Vista Home Basic on it and cannot find an internet adapter to set it up with. I bought the WPC54G, as instructed by the Fry's rep, but still not compatible. Any ideas? Will the WMP54G work for me? Thanks for any instruction you can give. I am a complete layperson when it comes to the inner workings of the computer.

This hasn't really got anything to do with Vista itself, but you may need to configure your network settings in Vista and in the router. You should ask for help in a networking group. ss. |
