new drivers wlan cards needed

Hi there,
I tried a RT2500 CardBus WLAN adapter on Vista 5270. The card is detected and a driver version 2.2.whatever was installed automatically. But no connection is possible. Now I tried the latest XP driver from Ralink, but same problem. The card is shown in device manager, but even when I try to connect to my WLAN manually, I only get the message, that there are no wireless networks found. Any ideas? Is WLAN broken in 5270?

Wireless LAN is meant to be better in 5270 but many people have been having some trouble with it. Make sure your wireless point is well within 10 metres or so (to be safe) of your machine, and make sure that the Wired *something* Service in Vista, as well as the WLAN *something* service (sorry, I forget) is set to Automatic and Started.
Check out www.zacknet.co.uk/vistabase - Settings - "How can I access my standard "XP style" network settings?" as this enables you to see your default XP style settings which makes it easier :o)

It's good not to be alone with a problem...

Both services are started and set to automatic, the access point is just around five metres next to the notebook. I should just wait for the next CTP, it seems.

Things should be much better in the February CTP as more drivers are set to be available...
