Default Vista & my Wireless Network

Hey everyone,

I recently installed Vista onto a partition in my HD so I can dual boot it & XP.

After installing a few programs to test out Vista, I realize that I want my internet, so I installed the drivers for my Wireless NIC (Netgear WG311T).

Then, I restarted my PC in hopes of detecting my wireless network, which didn't happen.

Vista won't even recognize my wireless NIC, and when I try to search for a wireless network, it will say that it can't find any.

I have no problems setting it up on XP, but of course Vista is giving me problems. I tried downloaded a file from Netgear (NETGEAR Product compatibility for Microsoft Windows Vista)
but it didn't do anything.

Can anyone help me? Thanks.

is your wireless nic an add on or a part of the mobo? If mobo, you may need to enable in bios?

Hello,

So it's not listed in device manager?...not even an Unknown Device?
