WMP54G and 64 Bit OS

I've just about had it with this stupid thing.

It will not work. I tried the Ralink fix, here: http://www.phishthis.com/2009/01/1 [...] ta-64-bit/

Didn't work. I tried the driver CD, the Driver on the website.

I made sure I downloaded the right driver for my firmware version, 4.1.

Nothing seems to work. But of course it works on the other operating systems. But it must be a 64 bit issue, and tons of other people are having them too.

Any ideas?

Oh sorry, I thought I mentioned. The actual card is Linksys. The fix is using a Ralink driver, but that still doesn't help my situation. =/

So basically, until Linksys decides to update their drivers, (which they haven't for that card in 2 years) I'm screwed? Typical scenario, for me.

Thanks anyway.

You said you downloaded the latest driver, but did you try to get it from the chipmaker itself or only from Linksys? The actual chip on that WiFi card is a Ralink rt2561. Generally, you'll find more recent drivers if you go straight to the chipset manufacturer.

Here's the link to Ralink's Windows driver page:

You'll want the PCI/mPCI/CB (RT256x/RT266x) driver, I believe.

Here's another tip: instead of installing the entire package supplied by Ralink, go to device manager in Windows and manually install just the driver and let Windows handle the WiFi. Things tend to go much smoother with this method.
