Sorry, I mistyped in my last post. "Windows" should be "Parallels."

What adapter does Parallels (the company) say Parallels (the application) is emulating? This is also known as "Read The Fine Manual."

edit: FYI, it's the RealTek RTL8029(AS). I think Windows XP includes that driver, so open up Add hardware in the Control Panel and be on your merry way.

Everything having to do with Parallels should go in the Alternative Operating System forum, NOT in the Mac OS X forum. Moving...

I face the same problem. Fine, Realtek is added to my n/w adapters list. when I connect the Apple-wireless from parallels usb list, XP recongnises it as a "human interface device".
Also drivers for "VGA controller" and "other PCI device" are missing. Where will i find drivers for these? And what about the wireless ?

If you Wireless Access Point has MAC address filtering, make sure that you add Parallel's MAC address (which is made up) to the filter. You can get the Parallel's MAC address under the Network Adaptor -> Advanced tab.

We have about 16 macs here running Parallels and they are all on wireless without a problem.
