how-to: Get D-Link DWL-G122 B1 USB wireless work in Vista 64 bit

[NewsBot]

As googling around didn't come up with anything useful, here's how I got this*D-Link DWL-G122 B1 USB wireless stick working in Vista 64 bit. At the moment the D-Link driver package didn't seem to do the trick.

 

From here:

Get the driver that says RT2500 under the version:

http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/IS_AP_STA_7x_D-1.2.3.0_VA-3.1.1.0_2500_D-2.1.1.0_VA-3.1.0.0_RU-2.0.4.0_VA-2.0.4.0_AU_1.2.1.0_VA-1.0.4.0_101707_0.1.0.29.exe

 

Install it, if it doesn't work immediately like with me, go to device manager and update the driver manually, select "let me pick from a list..", "have*disk...", point it to*Program Files (x86)\RALINK\RT7x Wireless LAN Card\Driver and browse the different available ones for "RT2500 USB Wireless LAN Card". This will force install of the driver using netr7064.sys (v 3.1.0.0 on package above).

 

Then if you want the included tool to work, go to Program Files (x86)\RALINK\RT7x Wireless LAN Card\Utility\RaUI.ini and edit it adding under [RT2500USB]

* DeviceID_23=USB\VID_2001&PID_3C00

 

where 23 is the highest number.
