Hi all,

Installed Parallels and Vista Home Premium last night on my new MacBook Pro. Install went well with no issues. The only problem I'm having is getting the airport/wireless to work.

This thread says that XP/Parallels uses a driver called Realtek, but I can't find anything like that when I go to add new hardware.

Anyone have luck getting their MBP's wireless to work with Vista/Parallels? Thanks!

The VM should be set to "shared networking" and install the VM tools. Should work find after that, I haven't had any problems.

Thanks Sieb, I guess I should RTFM. I'll give this a spin when I get home.
