| Linksys WMP54G in Windows XP x64 Edition |
[Aug. 3rd, 2008|12:07 pm] |
So, you're running Windows XP x64, perhaps after a disastrous stint with the 64-bit Windows Vista, and you're happy except you want to add a wireless card and you're finding that most on the market don't support your OS. I had a similar experience recently that had me buying 2 different cards, only to find that they aren't supported. First was a D-Link WDA-1320, and after the experience of being told by support that they simply won't ever provide a driver, I was a little more careful in choosing the next card, a Linksys WMP54G. I'd read several reviews of people who'd gotten it to work, so I bought one.
( Of course, it wasn't as easy as they let on... )
Let me also add that this sort of thing makes me even more ticked that Linksys does not support XP x64 with this card. It would have required no extra software development on their part; RALink has obviously done all the work already. |
