Not siure this is the venue for this question, but here goes.
Some time ago I bought a Belkin USB network adapter, and I didn't use
it much. I'd like to use it now, but the program didn't seem to work.
After what must have been a couple hours of someone on the line at
Belkin support asking questions and telling me things he was most
likely reading, and he finally came to the information he should haave
told me first.
I.e., it doesn't work on Vista, and that Windows has a driver for it.
I tried to find it, but didn't.
Any suggestions, besides buy a new one?

thanks
 
If Vista has a driver for it, Vista will automatically install the driver;
there is no need to go looking for it. So if Vista does have the driver
just plug it in and go. But it appears that Vista does not have a driver so
I would go to http://www.belkin.com/ and find the product there and see what
drivers are available.
 
Ooooops!
I was also talking to Linksys a bit about my router, and my mind was
obviously working at 50%.
The BELKIN is
F5D7050
 
My original post had no confusion about it being Belkin, and I think
most readers of the post understood that I had not only visited
Belkin's site, but had talked to whoever they hired to answer support
questions.
So, to spell it out for you . . .
Belkin does not have a driver that will make their adapter work with
Vista.
Vista could not find a driver when I hit the button asking me if I
wanted it to search for driver.

That's why I ask for help.
What more would you have done?

You'll also need to know your product's version number to download the
correct file.
Belkin site also has a listing of which products are Vista compatible.
I actually spoke to a Belkin rep, who was able to point me to the right
download for my wireless card(not the same model as yours) in less than
a minute. Foreign accent, but quite understandable. My model is
supposedly Vista compatible, but since I'm using XP on this machine I
can't verify that.
