The wireless device is a whole other device on the motherboard.
I'll continue though working through the email and see if I can also
achieve success.

If that's not the right RealTek software for you -- if your wireless
card isn't an RTL8110SC, then please save yourself some trouble and find
the right stuff on the RealTek site.  You may need only the "auto
installation" program, but I'd download and install the Vista 64-bit
driver too.

Install the driver through Device Manager.

Install the WiFi control panel downloaded from the RealTek site.  Do not
use the Asus control panel on the motherboard disk.

Change to AP (Access Point) mode.  Station Mode is for when you want the
computer to sync with a connection signal from elsewhere.  AP (Access
Point) mode is for when you want the computer to broadcast a WiFi signal
that your devices will sync with.

Configure as follows:

Profile Name: Access Point Mode

Network Name:  Make up something appropriate for your setup -- this will
appear as the connection name in devices that use this WiFi signal.

Network Authorization: WPA2-PSK

Data Encryption: AES

Network Key: Enter something alphanumeric with eight characters -- you
have to enter it twice.  This will be the password you'll be required to
supply on a laptop or other device you're connecting to the system via WiFi.

Then go to ICS, highlight the Wireless card and hit apply.

Then turn on the WiFi card on the laptop and activate the connection.

Using this method I've been able to set up WiFi-AP on all three of my
OSs -- XP, Vista32 and Vista64.  When I (first) enable WiFi on my Asus
computer and (second) activate WiFi on the laptop, the laptop thinks
about five seconds and then shows a strong connection, followed shortly
by an IP address and and excellent connection to the net.  After all my
fiddling around, the setup I've just described works first time every
time I set it up on a different OS -- I'm getting pretty good at it now.

Good luck and hope this helps.
