Upgrading Network Adapter for Vista

Does anyone know where I can find a Vista Beta 2 Adapter for Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter (LNE100TX v4)? I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor, and it told me to get the driver from Microsoft Update (it forgot that I have to connect to the internet first!!) I can't find it anywhere .. Thanks.

Have you tried the XP driver for the card?

I was able to use the WinXP version. I downloaded the drivers from Linksys.com using a different computer, put the files on a USB thumb drive and then moved them to my WinVista PC.
The trick is when you install the drivers you have to choose "Browse my computer" then choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers" then choose "Have Disk" and point it to the WinXP folder. That worked for me!
