I bought a new computer a month ago or so and I bought an Abit AirPace PCI-Express 54Mbps Wi-Fi with it which claims it works fine with Windows Vista. Unfortunately it does not. When I install the driver the card can still be found under device manager as not installed.
Does anyone know a solution to this? (Apart from using a cable, which I currently am!!) :angst:
I thought about just buying a new adapter, but I thought I would ask you before I do that.
I had the same problem with an air pace card and didn't have time to mess around fixing it so I used one of these
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK
plug and play with vista and works a treat.
Try the Abit web site for the latest drivers - otherwise RMA it as it doesn't do what it claims to.
I had this problem with the exact same hardware.Quote:

If its installed at the same time as the chipset drivers it works incredibly well.
They do actually do what they claim to.Quote:

Alright. Which driver are you using? I might give that a shot. :)
It didn't work for me. I'll just buy a new adapter cause I'm getting rather annoyed and £12 isn't too bad.
Its not the adapter.
Its Vista and driver signing that causes the issue.
It is finally working! This guy Ehy Guys: very good news about Airpace Wi-Fi's drivers - Universal abit USA Forums has a solution which involves using a driver from a different adapter.
