The reason being there are many wireless g adapters so people can't tell which one you have. 802.11g is only the wireless standard that tells you the wireless adapter is a g adapter.

Yep, please get the model # of the adapter and I'll try my best to get the driver for you. Also, please tell which Windows version (XP, Vista, 7) you are running. Normally, there is a small label/sticker on the adapter with the model and serial numbers on it.

Edit: Sorry, you said the OS was Vista Ult so I know you're running Vista now :) . BTW, is it x86 or x64?

Yep, my friend! In 90% of the cases once we get the make/model of the hardware all right, we can find the drivers for them easily.
