Wireless Adapter for Win7 64-bit

Hi, I've been searching for a wireless adapter to use for my next desktop build; however, it seems that most adapters are having issues with drivers with Win7 64-bit. A google search has been bringing up articles from January and nothing really up to date. Does anyone know of any adapters on the market that currently work with Win7 64-bit?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Wireless Adapter for Win7 64-bit

That's really odd. I've had zero trouble with 3 different adapters that I have installed...they aren't on that list, and yeah, I have the 64-bit edition of Win 7 installed.

Bluetooth, on the other hand....
