    New computer with vista will detect the netopia usb adapter (TER/GUS-N) and says it can't find the driver. I tried to install the driver from various sites and it still says no driver. It works fine on my XP machine. Any idea where to start?

    I called AT&T and they said they can't help. I bought it through TIVO a while back and my XP automatically detected it. I have looked all over the web and I am beginning to think that it won't work with vista.
    Ick.

    Sadly, a Vista driver does not exist, I think it might be cheaper to buy a new USB adapter if that will work. You can do that with a brand name adapter like Linksys or D-link for around 50 bucks. Wish I could help more...

    Thanks for the help. I ended up getting a new wireless adapter. I hate vista already.

    Sorry, I hate the rare "no soultion" questions. If it makes you feel better, I have been using Windows 7 for a month now, its great.
