Sony VAIO PCG-Z1RSP Vista

HI
I am wondering if the ethernet card (Intel PRO/wireless LAN 2100 3B) driver installed on the Sony VAIO PCG-Z1RSP (Z1SP or whatever other names there are for it) will work on Microsoft Windows Vista, or if there is another driver which will work. I am asking this since I want to upgrade to Vista Business ( I have installed an extra 512MB of RAM). If there is another driver available for install could you please send me the link. Thanks
Regards
Deez Khara

I don't quite understand.
I have checked and there are no Vista drivers for the ethernet card on the Sony website, but there ARE drivers for the internet itself. Will I be able to connect to the internet if I upgrade to Vista? Are there any other sites you know that have Vista drivers apart from the official Sony Website?

Thanks

go to this site...choose your operating system and download drivers for your wireless adapter. Copy the drivers to a floppy as well as to your hard drive so you can install after or during upgrade

Visit intel website to see if they have drivers for your ethernet card specifically for Vista. If they do, then download and save so that when Vista sees card and says it cannot finf driver you will be able to install afterwards.

I want to get all my sony vaio vgn-s590b driver program because i cant get wifi signal n lan for the internet'

Hi,

Unfortunately, the Wireless card in the VAIO model VGN-S580B does not support n standard. The integrated Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Driver supports IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g standards. It is require to use an external Wireless card to use the n standard.

However, here is the link to download all the drivers for your computer model:

XP SP3 doesnt allow driver to get loaded

not a problem in xp sp3 under the device manager in system properties you will have a yellow circle and black exclamation mark and probably say unknown device or ethernet device. right click go to properties and in details tab you will see Device ID.. we can track OEM driver from this.
