I am upset to find that the CNet Pro 200WL network card does not appear to
work under Vista. I installed the Business edition and the card was not
detected. I do realize that it is listed as "Unknown" on the compatibility
list, but was still frustrated to find that even on 32-bit Vista it does not
work, especially since I had installed a beta of Vista on the same machine
and had no problem with this card.

Yes, I know network cards are cheap and I could just replace it, but I
already have WinXP and SuSE Linux ghost images set up on that PC with the
network card that's in it, and I don't know if those images (esp. the Linux
one) would work properly after restore if they had a different network card.

Has anyone had any luck with this network card on Vista? I did visit the
manufacturer's web site http://www.cnetusa.com and didn't find any useful
info.

Thanks!

FYI - I just tried the WinXP driver, and it seems to work, for 32-bit Vista.
Probably should have tried that first.

I'm using XP driver for that network card successfully on Vista, too.
