Re: Why are WiFi drivers for x64 unavailable?!?!?!?

I'm not a programmer - but I must ask - what's so hard about creating
drivers for 64 bit windows applications?

If the driver was created correctly, it's simply a matter of switching
to the 64-bit build environment and recompiling.

If it was not created correctly (i.e. a memory address was assumed to
be 32-bits), then there will be lots of errors to clean up...
