Wireless LAN card and XP64

[imported_jondoe]

I have just experienced problems with a ADDON GWP100 802.11g PCI card.... and I'm not sure whether it is self-inflicted or Microsoft-inflicted. I've used the card on XP 32-bit for a year with no problems.

I have just upgraded to XP64 and I've got problems. It's either because the drivers I have aren't gonna work on XP64 or because I installed the hardware before the software (forgot to read the manual, hmmm). I've uninstalled the device, rebooted, installed software, shutdown, installed hardware and restarted... and the device manager is picking it up as an 'Unknown Device' 'Network Controller' (which it is clearly not).

Anyone know whether the driver is 64-bit compatible, and if not, where I could get one from? It seems to share a Texas Instruments chipset for 802.11g cards - is there a generic 64-bit driver lurking somewhere???

Any help much appreciated, don't fancy shelling out on a new Wireless LAN card...

Or if I do have to, does anyone know of any Wireless LAN card which will be compatible with XP64?

any wireless card that uses Atheros chipset.

I wanted to upgrade to 64bit but my wifi card (WMP54GS) doesn't have any drivers yet either Have you tried the sticky thread in the Operating Systems forum?

AFter trying pretty much any and every driver I could find, I've given in. Emailed the tech support from ADDON Technology, have't heard anything back, so I'm gonna buy the Asus 138g WiFi card tomorrow, which should *hopefully* work.

Check for driver availability first, don't just hope.
