Question : I have a Linksys wireless PCI Card strange readings on Windows 7, Vista For Business and 2008 SBS Server

We have a single PC that has several OS's mentioned above.
The Vista shows the card and the driver installed with no problems other than it will intermittently start-up the machine and not work even when we have 4 out of 5 bar signal strength.
I have not been able to determine why it works intermittently. It boots straight up and launches the internet with no problems about 50% of the time. The driver is current and OS as well.

 When I restart the PC into Windows 7 which their site says Linksys there is no driver for that card yet. However, the wireless connection actually works every time without fail. Every single time....never fails. However when I go to the Device Manager of the Win 7 PC the device recognized is not actually on the machine but works. It comes back as a Broadcom 802.11g network adapter. It is in the image below.

Finally on the 3rd OS Windows 2008 SBS. I noticed it does not work at all but does have the same listed card as the Win 7. The Broadcom 802.11g network adapter.

Does anyone know why this is and if I can get these to work consistently with all 3 OS's. The machine itself is a brand new 2 week old ASUS P5ND 64bit. The only thing I know that is unusual is that the Vista is installed for 32/64. the Win 7 is installed for 32 bit and the Win2008SBS is installed for 64 bit.
Any support is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Gotta love computers.

In terms of simplicity, I would just get a wireless nic that is supported by all the operating systems you want to run.  it is curious why it works for some os's and not others, though, other than to while away the time, the quickest solution is to have 100% compatible hardware.
