three words. Use XP Drivers. I do it all the time and my vista build works better than XP.

The XP drivers work correctly for the WUSB54GC wireless adapter under Vista Beta 2 x86. Vista manages the wireless connection on its own, rather than using the Linksys program.
This device does not work on the Vista x64 version. Vista will correctly detect and identify the device, but will be unable to install the drivers. I have seen various proposed work-arounds (specifically for XP64) but I have not been able to get these to work, either.
