    It keeps showing up as an unknown device and I'm guessing it's because I don't have a vista-64bit driver for it. Anybody have any suggestions?

    UWB (Ultra-Wideband) is what is used in short length wireless communications.. It's used to connect to Personal Area Networks at a high speed... It's most likely an Intel device since they are the biggest pushers of UWB..

    Anyways.. use this program to identify the unknown device...

    Unknown Device Identifier

    I use it all the time on client's computers to identify missing drivers.. hope this helps..
