Since MSDN now has keys for Vista available, I started getting my developer laptop ready. One problem I ran into was that the built-in wireless adapter on the nw8000 wasn’t recognized by the RTM bits. On previous releases it worked just fine, so I don’t quite get what the issue is.

Anyway, I found that the in-box drivers for an “Atheros Wireless Network Adapter” seem to do the job.

Here’s the drill: Start Menu - Computer - Right click - Properties - Tasks: Device Manager - Find the device in the list - Right click - Update driver - Browse my computer… - Let me pick from a list… - Find “Atheros Communications Inc.” and pick “Atheros Wireless Network Adapter”.
