It works using my built in AR5007 wireless card in Vista but would not
work using USB dongles with ZD1211 and RT2870 chipsets. There was an
added problem with neither of these being able to get an internet
connection after installing the Ekahau s'ware, had the usual
169.254.xx.xx addresses. When I tried to remove the Ekahau driver from
the adapter properties Vista locked up. I had to remove the Ekahau
program to get the USB adapters to work properly, strangely there was no
problem with the AR5007 card.
