Anybody know any 64 bit supporting wireless cards?

Anybody know of any? I know the various chipsets that support it, but just don't know any manufacturers of the actual cards who do, apart from the onboard wireless G on the A8V, which i'm obviously not going to buy.

Is that the Asus Wifi@Home one? I have the Wireless B version, which there are no 64Bit windows drivers for. It's based on the Ralink rt2400 chipset. The rt2500 chipset (Wireless G) does have 64bit drivers so if you can find a card with that chipset it should work.

(Both cards are supported under 64bit Linux

)

Presumably any chipset with drivers in the Linux kernel (like my old Lucent Orinoco Gold) will work fine under 64-bit Linux? The OP might have been talking about XP64, of course, which is going to have driver issues for a bit until the relevant hardware companies catch up.

Sorry was talking about the rt2500 chipset :s

And its XP64 and i do check that site regularly, thanks.

Phoned d-link, that company's driver situation is pretty dire, didn't know whether they were coming or going with new drivers, mentioned i used a hacked version of realtek's drivers due to random bsods with their drivers and the person went on about that you do have to look around for other 3rd party drivers and connection apps!?

Anyway, for anybody else, found this http://ralink.rapla.net/

All Rt2500 based cards. Going for the belkin one myself.
