![]() The Samsung WIS09ABGN is actually just a (very expensive) Ralink RT2850-based 802.11 adapter, very similar to the LinkSys WUSB600N v2, and can use either of those drivers. Within a few more minutes, I had figured out the following and was up and running with the WIS09ABGN on my desktop PC: The hint had since disappeared from Answers but enough of it was still in Google's cache to point me in the right direction. ![]() My first few Google searches turned up nothing, but then I noticed a comment from Yahoo! Answers that gave me a hint. ![]() On my second call back, a different technician took the time to put me on hold and actually check, but returned 5 minutes later and said the same: "It's proprietary technology, we did not make it for PCs, so you cannot use it with Windows." Samsung's technicians, though friendly and toll-free, insisted the device was proprietary and no software existed for using it on a PC. Plugging it into one of my Windows 7 boxes, I was alerted no supporting drivers were found, and Windows Update was clueless as well. This got me wondering, "Would this work on one of my desktop machines?" ![]() I've since upgraded to a GoogleTV-enabled player, and now have the old WIS09ABGN adapter lying around. It didn't have built-in Wi-Fi, but came with a WIS09ABGN USB Wireless adapter. About a year ago I purchased a Samsung Blu-Ray player.
