Will Windows Vista wireless drivers work with Windows 2003 Server?

I have a Dell laptop with Windows 2003 server and an Intel 2200 wireless
card, but have no driver for it. There is a beta for Windows Vista, but it
also doesn't work. So I am wondering if it is because the driver is for a
Beta version of Windows Vista and won't work on a production release of the
OS, or whether Windows Vista drivers will not work for Windows 2003.

Any clarification would be appreciated and any guidance on where to find a
driver for my Intel (or another card) card and Windows 2003 would even be
better.

Thanks in advance,

WayneM

Hi,

In most cases it is up to hardware manufacturer (Intel in this case) to
write, provide and support drivers for the hardware (Intel WiFi card). It is
up to Intel if they will decide to write a driver for this card for Vista
operating system.
