Just a bit more work to get all the correct drivers. I run hard wired gig Ethernet and 10/100 Ethernet so I don't need wireless drivers on my local machines. All of my wireless machines are still running XP Pro. Looks like I will start backing everything up tonight and tomorrow and format the rig over the next couple days. This is going to get interesting.

I doubt Vista64 has a problem with wireless *per se*... more likely that certain wireless devices or common chipsets have an issue with proper driver support. My son's new Sony VAIO laptop, with Vista Home Premium 64-bit, has no problems at all with its onboard draft-N wireless.
Unfortunately there are only a few wifi chipsets that are commonly used by most manufacturers, and if the makers of those chipsets don't provide proper drivers and/or SDKs, their users (the end device makers) are starting at a disadvantage.
