Last week, on newegg.com, I spotted an Asus USB-N13 wireless adapter for $19.99 with free shipping. The specifications tab specifies Xlink Kai support, so I ordered one as my current setup is not compatible with Kai.
Today I received the package in the mail. I haven't opened it yet, for fear that I may need to return it. The problem is this: on the side of the box it says "Xlink Kai Support (WinXP & Mac OS)." My laptop has Windows Vista Ultimate, and I'm wondering if anyone has confirmed this adapter to be working on Windows operating systems besides XP, before I open it to try it out. |

Well it's yet to be reported in the list so not possible to know which chipset it exploits.
You should get a refund and buy an adapter which has already been compatible to work with Vista. You can find many of them at the same prize you paid for the Asus.
However, is your Vista a 32 or 64 bit? |

I also have it and I think that Xlink Kai is supported but for some odd reason when ever I goto the advanced settings tab there is an option that doesn't have a description and I'm thinking that's where the option to turn PSP Xlink Mode On/Off should be. |

How is this option called?
I don't get what you mean by "description". The advanced tab's options don't have any "description". They only have a setting when you highlight them. |

By description I mean where normally a feature in the advanced settings tab according to some guides where "PSP Xlink Mode" is left blank and says "No Description". |

Your assumption may be wrong and this "no description" just means there is nothing. Or your adapter isn't properly installed thus some options can't show up. Can you use it without any problem?

You tried the promiscuous mode's test (third method)? What does it give? |

I was checking the list and I saw that mine was "Asus 802.11g/n WL-160N man: 0b05 dev: 1723 Ralink rt2870 green Vendor driver included in the staging tree as of Linux kernel 2.6.29-rc1. Firmware from userspace required kernels as of 2.6.30.". So I'm guessing it is supported but the question remains is why isn't it working on Vista 32 Bit (I haven't got the one with Vista 64-bit as it isn't hooked up as of yet)? |

The key part is in bold. :p
Here is the guide to follow:

Guide is meant for 7 but you shouldn't have any problem applying it on your Vista, interfaces being almost the same. |

That actually worked but how do I do SSID swap?
Edit: NVM I figured it out so everything is OK. |
