Vista 64-bit Wireless adapters

[IT]

---

Networking has always made me want to pull my hair out but this one takes the cake so far... I've been looking for a Windows Vista 64-bit compatible wireless adapter for my newly built PC, but can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone. I've tried out 3 different adapters(2 Belkin and 1 D-link), and returned them all because the employees I ask about fail to mention the downloadable drivers are for 32-bit only. I've gone through the D-link 64-bit compatibility list, but for whatever reason, D-link doesn't seem to actually SELL any of the adapters it lists.

So. I need it from the horse's mouth. From someone who really truly, 100% knows; what adapter(any brand, but D-link prefered) will work on my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit computer? If you know of one that comes compatible straight out of the box, awesome, even better, but downloadable drivers are certainly fine.

And if you include a link to newegg or a retailer... I just might name my firstborn after you.

i've been using 64-bit windows xp/vista drivers for my linksys wusb54g (rev 4)...
if you want, i can send you the drivers.

if i remember right, windows/microsoft update has whql drivers for the linksys wusb54g. perhaps there are also some available for your adapter.

you can also check the chipset of your adapter (e.g. rt2500) and check its manufacturer's site.
