W7 64bit Wireless Troubles

[Kornowski]

I've just installed Windows 7 (64-bit) and I can't get my wireless adaptor to work (Buffalo Airstation G WLI-U2-KG54L). I used the driver CD that came with it to install the drivers, which went smoothly yet it doesn't detect any networks. I checked device manager and it does see my adaptor, but states the drivers need updating. I tired searching through the list of drivers that Windows has. It has a few for Buffalo adaptors, but not my exact model. Strange that it should work in Vista but not W7.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Are you using windows to view wlan's or other client? Not even sure if W7 has native support for wireless networking ( I dont see why it wouldnt). I just loaded W7 last night havent played with it much. If it does make sure wireless zero config service is running and you have checked windows managing wireless networks in network connections options.

View the wlans? Windows Device Manager detects my wireless adaptor, but says the driver needs updating. I can't view any networks in my area at all.

I came across this before;

So I'll have to give it a go. I know they're Vista 64 drivers, but I was thinking I could run them in compatability mode.

That'd be my guess as well. There's also a possibility that they might release a new driver when Win7 is released too..
