The kit will only work with the supplied wireless dongle, I believe there may be recent driver updates for Vista on the Netgear website.

What I would suggest though is to call Customer Care and switch your service to a cable modem instead for a faster more reliable service. If you want to stay wireless you could wait to see what wireless kits are provided by Virgin soon or purchase your own router for 30-£40 for a basic 54g wireless router as you have an adapter built in already.

Switching to a cable modem may also mean a chaper service as you have options like the "3 for £30" deal which may save you money as well.

Hope this info was useful
