Driver for linksys wusb54g windows 7 drivers#
There's also no way to load 32-bit drivers in 64-bit Windows - the drivers work inside the kernel memory space, so if the kernel is using 64-bit addressing, the drivers also have to.
Additionally, without the source code, I don't know of any way to re-build them to work for 64-bit. none of the manufacturers released 64-bit drivers for the device, as far as I know. The settings don't seem to affect the operation of the adapter outside of Windows' own wireless configuration UI, so it probably can be safely ignored. During the driver setup, you will be provided with a wizard of about 2-3 pages for configuring the wireless adapter - just leave everything on its defaults and click next until you're finished.

After that, just use Device Manager to update the drivers for the wireless adapter by browsing to "C:\Program Files\IOGEAR\IOGEAR WGU513 Wireless\Res". The workaround is to run the installer, and then when it errors out about not being able to find the device that needs the drivers, you need to open Task Manager and kill setup.exe. If it fails to update the device with the drivers (which it will do because it doesn't recognize the WUSB54GP as a device it supports), it proceeds to uninstall the drivers. The tricky part is that they bundle the drivers inside an installer that can't be extracted with the Universal Extractor, and the installer wants to perform the driver update itself. As before, my goal was to find find yet another device with compatible drivers that did not have the crash on shutdown.Īfter trying about 5 different driver sets, I discovered that the "IOGEAR Wireless-G to USB 2.0 Flex Adapter (GWU513)" had exactly the drivers I was looking for. Desperate for a solution and unwilling to go back to the mediocre-at-best Linksys drivers, I again headed over to the prism54 project's website to look at the list of supported devices with the same chipset as my current adapter.
That was all well and good for Windows XP, but when I switched into Windows Server 2008 and then to Windows 7, I found that the D-Link drivers had one fatal flaw: at shutdown time, the OS would come to a screeching halt with BSOD and STOP code 7F (double-falt).Īlthough it was possible to avoid the BSOD by disabling the wireless adapter before shutdown, this seemed awfully tedious, and I found myself often forgetting to do it before clicking the reboot button on the start menu.
Back in April, I wrote about how users of the Linksys WUSB54GP could get a much more stable wireless connection by swapping out their drivers for those of the D-Link DWL-G122 Rev.
