Matt:

Did you install the boot camp drivers after you installed Windows? If not then the following needs to be done to get all your hardware (including wireless network) working.

1. Boot into *Windows Vista*
2. Insert your *Leopard Installation Disk* in the CD/DVD Drve
3. The computer should automatically begin installing the boot camp drivers version 2.0
4. Reboot the computer.

Check your wireless connection after rebooting.

Alex,
I did exactly that, loaded the drivers from the Leopard disk after the Vista install and still no joy ?
