I have an Inspiron 530 computer with Windows Vista, and I was wondering what kind of wireless internet card I need to buy? I already have internet access on another computer in my house (via hardline) and a wireless router, but my computer didn't come with a wireless card.
Following is the link where you can see a comprehensive list of all compatible wireless cards for Windows Vista:

The link goes to in innacurate list. I went ahead and purchased a wireless network card from the list that was listed as "certified for windows vista." It arrived and failed to work - checking up, the company that makes the product doesn't even make products for Microsoft systems, only Macintosh. I guess I should have double-checked to be sure that Microsoft wouldn't just spout untruths about compatible products. Silly me.
For reference for others, be advised that Hawking Technologies does not produce Microsoft-compatible equipment. Only Macintosh.
