Yet another Vista x64 and wireless question

[Guest]

I have an Averatec 6240, with an internal Ralink wireless adapter. (Why? Good
Question... )

I did an upgrade to Vista x486 from XP, and had many other problems, but
internet connectivity and networking was not one of them. I knew this was
likely driver and software related.

Sick of problems - so I did a clean install, this time with the x64
version, build 5384 (The 6240 has a AMD64). Looks and runs great thus far,
except the following...

Now, after downloading the 64bit bersion of the wireless driver from
http://www.ralink.com.tw/supp-1.htm and reinstalling to support the card -
nothing happens. No connectivity, and no card or network detected. The driver
supports Win9x/2K/XP/x64. I know it does not say Vista....

Thoughts? Short of ending the grand experiment?

The driver may be for 64-bit, but it may not be Vista. I assume Ralink did
not have any Vista drivers for you?

Don't give up just yet on Vista. Since it is a test machine anyways, why
not play around with it awhile?
