If any one needs a working driver for this chipset I found a windows 2000 driver thats works perfectly on 32bit vista at driverguide.net. I also tried vista 64 bit I could find a 64 bit version driver for this nic. I had trouble with 64 bit driver for soundblaster live 24 bit but i read you have to install manually which i didn't do at the time. I'm suprised realtek is not gonna make a 64 bit driver for the 8029.
