RE: Linksys PCI Adapter with SRX WMP54GX no driver available

Well here it is months later, and now here I am needing to do the same thing.
So, I did a search and yep, that driver can be installed using Windows
Update. Course Vista doesn't include a way to get on a network with no
network installed. Worse yet, I have been searching for the driver for 30
minutes and this is the closest I have come to it, and therefore I will mark
this post as helpful since this is probably all I will get out of my little
trek here.

BTW, I don't blame Linksys for this, I blame Microsoft. It's obvious that
they are doing one of two things here: A) Lying about the fact that they have
the driver or B) Too ignorant to actually make the drivers available in a
reachable location.

My solution will be to return the machine to Gateway, and explain to them
why. Maybe they can fix the issue.
