    On Zepto's ftp server, the driver listed under /WirelessLanCards/Zepto_ZPro2_BGN_-_300mbit/Vista/32Bit is called;
    Zpro2_011_0402_2008.
    You can get it from there; ftp://ftp.zepto.dk
    Cheers.

    http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=201379&p=5 (In french, and I don't really understand it)

    The question was about drivers for Ubuntu 8.10, not Vista :rolleyes:

    I think you can use windows drivers and compile linux drivers out of them. I guess that's what he was thinking...

    There is another and easier way for Ralink RT2860 chips (that Zepto Zpro2 card uses),
    simply install this paket:

    https://launchpad.net/~stgraber/+a...1~ppa2_all.deb (Thanks to Launchpad- Team)

    Then your WLAN- device is named ra0 (not wlan0).
    Configure your network manager to use ra0 and then it should work without problems.

    for a detailed description (in German):

    for more information about drivers for RaLink- chipsets in ubuntu (in German):
