My wireless connection appeared in the list. So, I went to the network center (Sharing center - whatever it is called the place where you can configure the networks). "This device is functioning properly" is, I believe, the exact language the device manager uses. After the files were installed, my Linksys wireless card showed up in the device manager and appeared to be functioning. I received a warning about the drivers not being digitally signed (which I ignored).

I chose to install the driver from a known location and pointed the computer to the appropriate folder on the CD.

At this point, I powered down the comp, cracked it open, and plugged in the card. I took the CD over to the new computer, put it in and found that there was no autorun file on it, but there were two folders with the drivers - one for 32 bit and the other for 64 bit. So, I went and grabbed the file and extracted it to a CD-R. All I had to do was find a driver for Vista 64, which was listed. And, the forum post contained a list of suitable (supposedly) drivers that could be downloaded. I found a post on the Linksys forums that seemed to indicate issues obtaining drivers for this card, specifically for 64 bit systems.

I hopped on my laptop (which connects wirelessly to the same router I am trying to connect the desktop to - a Linksys WRT54Gv.6) and began exploring around for drivers for the wireless card. Plus, when I originally installed the card in my XP machine, the CD would not install the drivers correctly, so I really didn't want to waste any time messing with it. I will describe the steps I have taken up to this point in the hopes that someone is able to tell me what I am doing wrong or if I should simply buy a different card.įirst, I realized that the 32 bit drivers included on the installation CD would probably not work.

In a nutshell, I believe in my particular case it is impossible to get this card to work.

SO, I removed the Linksys WMP54G v.4.1 card from my old desktop in the hopes I could get it to work in the new one. I was hoping to be able to put it in the living room which would require a wireless card. I recently purchased a Gateway LX6200-01 computer with Vista Home Premium 64.
