Got a wi-fi Adapter G-122 Dlink

So many days since i have written anything. My net was down as the LAN cable connecting my computer to the router got badly cut. It was connected through the window and it got cut due to ht eopening and closing of the window pane.

My mistake entirely, I should have cut a groove or something so that the cable does not come in contact with the window. Anyways, the cabling was going around the entire place very badly and was messin up the place so i decided to go wireless.

The router was already an acess point D-link dI 524 so not expense on that side. There were two options here, one was to get an internal PCI card D-510 or to get an USB variant of called the USB adapter GWL G-122 . The GWL G132 which is an 108 Mb wi-fi seemed a more future proof solution but it was not available here and it would have taken some time for it to arrive.

SO finnaly I have got the wirless thing working and finaly the net is working after a month or so. The product driver and the net monitor software provided in the package seem not to support Vista. The drivers work and the connection i available but the Vista security had messed up the net monitor software and does not work.

I searched around and found some driver/software for Vista but in all the cases the software did not work. The drivers worked though.

It would have been nice to be able to monitor the wireless connection though...
