Wi-Fi help involving Vista Suckiness (Possibly)
I can't seem to get my adapter to connect to the internet, right now I just happened to get lucky and have a connection for awhile until it goes out again, the weird thing is, ALL of my adapters work and can connect on other computers (Using the same network), and the computer hooked directly to the router has working internet. Here's the error log Vista creates;

I know it's pretty large but I'm assuming that it's important. Vista unfortunately doesn't understand it's own error logs and has no idea why it's happening....or so it tells me. The only thing that I get out of it is that it may be the drivers, but reinstalling or updating has no effect...Also, that adapter is made by Linksys. [Edit: I just plugged in an adapter that doesn't need drivers to be installed, and it worked fine....but it's wireless B.]
