Windows 7, 64-bit: Linksys WUSB54GS 2.1 does not work
Hello.
I have the following problem: I am running a fresh installation of Windows 7, 64-bit version, and trying to get my Linksys WUSB54GS 2.1 wireless adapter to work. I can install the driver I have on a CD, but the adapter refuses to work. When I open the Linksys Wireless Manager, I get a nice graphical overview where none of the buttons (except "Exit") respond to clicks and where no wireless networks show up.
My adapter (and network) works fine in Linux, so I do not believe it is broken. I have, however, encountered the same problem before in Windows XP. On my first few installations of XP the adapter worked perfectly, but one day (when I reinstalled XP) the above problem appeared, and I have never gotten it to work in Windows since. Still works in Linux, though.
I have looked around on the Linksys website. I can find drivers for version 1.0 and 2.0 (for Windows Vista and XP), but none for version 2.1. The 2.0 drivers do not work at all. With them installed, I cannot even open the Wireless Manager.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
