32-bit Vista install nightmare

D-Link WDA-2320 Rangebooster G Desktop Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 108Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Seems to work

Cons: Flyer in box says install card first - then driver. Several failed installs later, I look at D-Link's manual - it says install the driver first, then card. OK, the driver installs and it seems to work but there's a D-Link bloatware "connection manager" and two other related apps installed. I just want the driver please. So, I uninstall the D-Link driver apps and thanks to a poster here, use Update Driver in Device Manager to install the Atheros AR5002X driver supplied with Vista. OK, it works, but the signal level is two bars (9 foot line-of-sight connection). So I use Device Manager again to Update Driver, and let it automatically look online. It finds the proper driver through Windows Update, and installs. Five bars connection. Frankly, I expect this kind of nonsense on my Linux boxes - not under Vista SP1. Sorry, D-Link - bad, bad, bad.
