wireless usb adapter

I recently installed Vista and the only hardware issue I have is with my Wireless USB Network Adapter made by Microsoft, MN-510. Anyone have any ideas where I could get those drivers? I know they came with a networking package you can download for XP but doesn't work with Vista. Thanks

Do you have another internet connection? If so, try Windows Update. It found my Linksys USB Wireless Adapter and downloaded the drivers for it and it worked great. I'm sure (well, maybe not SURE!) that MS would have something similar for their own product.

What you are looking for is the file mn510_100.Exe. When you run the executable it will extract the drivers. I think you can get the MN-510 package from: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=113882 Once extracted (To Temp Folder), direct Vista to use the driver from that location which is named mswusb.inf

Thanks for the help, unfortunately it didn't work. I got the .inf file and directed Vista to look for it in the Temp folder (and in another folder in which I put the file) and it tried to install. It then said that installation failed. Any other ideas? Is it just that one .inf or are there other files as well?
Thanks for the help.

We are having the exact same problem with the driver for an RTL8150 USB to ethernet adapter. Interesting that both of these devices are USB network devices. I eventually got the driver to install by uninstalling the device with device manager and letting plug and play find the driver. This was after plug and play failed the first time. No matter how many times or methods I used to direct the system to install the specific inf file for the device, I got a dialog in which the only information on it was a title saying "Error" and text saying "Installation failed." For more complete information, you can find the thread by searching for "RTL8150" in all "Windows Vista Newsgroups"; it will be the only thread found.
