Windows 7 - Vista Driver for Trendnet 423pi - b1

I've got the above wireless card that I need a driver for. Vista wants to use
mrvw13b.sys but this doesn't start - code 10 error. It did work once but
after rebooting, it failed. Tried everything, include new install of vista.
Trendnet support wasn't any help. This was there last answer. "Vista uses
it's own native drivers. You might need to contact Microsoft to help
troubleshoot this issue. After all, they wrote the drivers."

Anybody got this card working with vista? What driver are you using?

thanks

Thanks but I've tried this. Vista refuses to use these drivers. When I remove
from system32/drivers the drivers vista wants and place the trendnet download
drvers in system32/drivers I can at least get vista device manager to load
them. vista wouldn't load them if I use the browse function. But the
downloaded drivers still wouldn't start. Trendnet support says not to use
their drivers in vista even though the site offers them as a download.

So I probably need someone who actually has this card working and determine
what driver is being used.

Hi
Id. which chipset is used by this card, and try to find  the OEM drivers
from the chipset maker.
As an example, I have TrendNet 424, the chipset is Realtek, and the Realtek
OEM drivers works well with Vista,

The trendnet 423pi b1 uses Marvell 88W88335-TGJ chipsets. Couln't find much
on their web site, the site is designed for vendors not consumers. Also
looked on driverguide.com.

Since once it worked, with the initial oem dvd vista, I suspect that a
working driver is on the system but for some reason vista things the
mrvw13b.sys is a better fit. I figured out how to get mrvw13b.sys off the
system by removing the driver plus the stuff in driverstore. I guess I could
remove 1 by 1 each driver vista wants to load and home that eventually I get
one that works.

I put a driver request on driverguide, maybe someone will have this card
working in vista and let me know which driver they are using.

This has been a bit of time sink so I'll just string a wire from my router
and home I don't trip over the cable.

Thanks for the help. If I get a solution, I'll post it.
