Dwa-142 will not install onto my windows vista drivers are not responsive

Go to this page:


http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/support/product/dwa-140-wireless-n-usb-adapter?revision=us_reva


select your "revision" A or B, it should say on the device. The selection box is on the right side of the page.

For revision B just download the most recent driver, it has the windows 7 driver in the package. For revision A, just use the windows vista driver for the bit level of operating system you have (32 or 64 bit) in the most recent driver for revision A.

once you have the zip, just extract it, then plug in the device, when it asks for the drivers point it at the extracted files.

1. Install driver in wine (recommended other WINEPREFIX)
2. Run: find ~/.wine/ -name "*netmw24*"
3. Copy files from this folder
4. Run: ndiswrapper -i /path/to/netmw245.inf

dLink has one on their own page:

13 MB driver package there.

The Vista drivers for this product are currently in BETA, so they may not work properly at this time as they are for testing purposes only, take a look at the D-Link website and make sure you have the latest version of the Vista driver installed:

you can use ndiswrapper with windows drivers.
1. You need to install ndiswrapper (`apt-get install ndiswrapper` on debian-based systems or `yum install ndiswrapper` or smth like this on redhat-based)
2. Get windows .inf and .sys file. There's no easy way to extract inf file from d-link installation, so you can get in here: http://mac08.zcom.ru/netmw.zip
3. Run ndiswrapper -i netmw245.inf

did you install a vista driver ?

same problem with vista home premium. to the letter, as you described it. was with dell support all day and there's no documented problem. my guess is the adapter just sucks? lol. i'll try another. how bout you guys, anyone try a different one?

The latest drivers are Vista compatible, they can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa142/Drivers

The latest drivers are really good and i'm using it with Vista
