External wireless Card in Vista Ultimate

[Guest]

Hi, when i plug my external wireless card into my laptop running Vista
Ultimate, it does nothing and i cannot install any other devices. When i
unplug the card it then comes up and says that it is being installed but it
obviously fails as i removed it. Also i cannot start or shutdown windows with
it plugged in.

Wireless card - manufacturer? model #? Hardware rev?
Laptop model and manufacturer? 32 or 64 bit Vista?

Unfortunately that card is not supported under Vista. It has the
PRISM chipset and there are no built in drivers. The 4 year old XP
drivers are not compatible with Vista either.
