brad72 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I am wondering if anyone knows how to get my wireless card (PC) working in Vista 64 home premium? I have searched every where and only find Vista 32 drivers..... I have read others who have it working with theirs but they never mentioned how... Any help would be greatfully appreciated...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted January 4, 2008 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2008 did you go to the 2wire website? if they dont have drivers, then i dont know what to tell you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIE Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Can you connect the PC to the net another way and try Windows Update, 2wire are a small company, i'd imagine they use a common chipset such as Atheros or something like that. Failing Windows Update find out what chipset your card uses and see how you go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7un7 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 If that ^ doesn't work, let us know the exact model and revision. Most larger chip manufacturers have 64bit drivers for Vista. OR.... google the model and revision, after some research you find the wireless chipset used. Then go here for the drivers. I'm guessing Broadcom or Marvell.

brad72 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks for the quick responses... I pulled the card out of the computer and this is all the information that is on the unit: 2WIRE 802.11g PCI Wireless adapter p/n1000-100042-00 input Voltage: DC 3.3v H/W Rev 1.0 MAC:0060b3-1ccd35 s/n xg90266wu000069 FCC ID: M4Y-XG-900 on the pcb board it reads Rev 1.0 s/n 70-450302-10 2003.05.03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7un7 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Still looking.. Can you see the chip on the card, or is it covered with a metal piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad72 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 It is covered with the metal plate...Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7un7 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Didn't find much on the card. One site said it was Broadcom, the other Proxim. The metal plate should come off if you get adventurous. Or you can try a Linux live cd, that might recognize the chip. That's all the help I can give, maybe someone else has a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad72 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks for taking the time out and helping me search tonight you got farther than I did cause I never found out anything about the broadcom or the other one...guess I could DL their drivers and see if it works if not just uninstall them...

SIE Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thats probably the best thing to do m8, as me and S7un7 said the chances are it's either Atheros, Broadcom, or a Marvell chip, but which chip is anybodys guess, try a few of there drivers and see how you get on, you could always try a Ubuntu live disc or something and see if that detects it.
