To my knowledge, I am not using an Intel Utility to manage the wireless. In
fact, I wasn't aware of any such thing. I have just been going to the Vista
Network sharing......

The driver is Intel, date: 30/10/06, version 10.6.0.29. Signature: MS
Windows hardware Compatibility. I clicked on the Update driver to be sure I
had the latest and apparently I have according to the response. It also
stated that this device is working properly.

Hope this helps and thanks for your responses.
