dlewis23 Posted July 6, 2006 CID Share Posted July 6, 2006 I have had mine for 4 years and Linksys told me that they will not sell any NIC cards for Vista until 1st Quarter of 2008 15 months after Vista's release it should still work because vista would have a driver for it. and if it didn't a XP driver would most likely work. A NIC is a very standard thing it doesn't require much.

ajb62787 Posted July 7, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 7, 2006 The latest driver Linksys had was the Windows 2000 driver BUT they claim the XP driver was released then changed their story about the drivers and said that XP never needed a driver for Linksys NC100 Fast Ethernet Card Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/14367-capable-windows-vista-nic-cards/#findComment-158074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista will be the same. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/14367-capable-windows-vista-nic-cards/#findComment-158075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalf Posted July 8, 2006 CID Share Posted July 8, 2006 I agree...before Windows final release of Vista, generic drivers for most hardware (NIC) will get you thru the installation process. I have a dual port 10100 NIC (Netelligent Dual 10100TX PCI UTP) and it works fine with Vista.
