WPC300N linksys vista drivers not accepted in Vista

Hi,

I have been try "The best driver software for your device is already installed" "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date"

The windows drivers are from 6/21/2006 version 4.82.28.56

The linksys are from 1/27/2007 version v4.102.15.56

The windows drivers do not work with the wpc300n well at all. The native wireless g (Atheros) picks up a signal at 85% and with this card it picks up the same signal at 15%.

As I need the distance and higher speed of the N router I can't use the internal wireless module and need to use an external card.

I contacted Acer and Linksys about this and each said it was not their problem. I called microsoft but since Vista was bundled they refused to help me unless I pay them $59 to talk about it.

It's apparently a vista issue as it insists on using its own drivers for this card.

Anyone have a suggestion of how to force Vista to update a driver?

Thanks
