So, I get all the parts in for my new build and put them all together. The last thing I install is the D-Link WDA-1320 PCI Wireless-g card, which was working literally 15 minutes prior in my old rig (32-bit XP). After getting Vista 64 running, I get errors (not read errors, just errors) when trying to install the drivers from the disk, and I can't even see it in the device manager.
Ah, hell, I say - I swapped it into the other PCI slot on my mobo, thinking that might help. Yeah, but no. Now windows detects an Ethernet Controller, and asks me for the driver disk. WTF. Looked online and found found a forum with another guy having the same issue with a different mobo / card.
I'm wondering if it's a firmware thing, or a hardware thing. I seriously don't want to RMA the board(Gigabyte AM3 UD4P), but I don't think that's the issue. If I can't figure this out before I leave work today, it's off to badbuy for a new card - probably N and probably using a different bus. Any ideas are much appreciated!
