Not always. While it may work, depending on the quality of the driver, it is far better to obtain a Vista-specific driver. Vista introduced a new TCP/IP stack and NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification), so the old driver may not perform as well.

Can you use a Linksys W11S4PC11 with Windows Vista?
The router component is operating system-independent, and thus can be used with Windows Vista. Linksys' site apparently lacks any driver downloads for this product, Vista or otherwise. The Linksys WPC11 card is nearly identical to the one in the W11S4PC11 kit, and lacks any Vista drivers on its product page. I am also not aware of any third-party drivers for the chipset that were written for Windows Vista. Note that in many cases, XP drivers can in fact be used on Windows Vista without issue, so using the XP drivers may work just fine.
