I can't get my wireless to work in Vista. I heard there should be an update on windows update but i dont have it. Am i missing something?

Thanks
 
Vista x86 or x64?

I'm not sure about the MBP, if it uses the Atheros 5008 (802.11n) card, then under x86 you can use the following driver http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-66449. I'm not sure that the installer will actually run (since it is provided by IBM), but I know for sure if you extract that driver, and point Vista to the WINXP_2K directory inside, it will install and function properly.

As for x64, unless someone else has found a driver in the last week, i'm not aware of any *working* drivers for this wireless card.
