Using Vista + Wireless on same machine with the router?
I have gone through all of my hardware and it is all great. All the drivers are up to date and everything is (appears to be) running fine. Until now.

Most of my hardware didn't work with Vista. Even hardware bought less than 6 months ago! And whose fault is that?
