Which network adapter

I have Comcast Cable which runs into a wireless G router. I currently have a Netgear MA101 USB adapter, however I dont think this will work on my new computer, which will have Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I was unable to find a 64bit driver for this adapter. Does anybody know if it will still work? If not, what adapters will? Thanks!

The best and easiest way to go is to buy a Linksys branded adapter. You'll have to look for a Vista x64 driver for it.

Linksys has not officially released any 64 bit Vista drivers for any of their products yet. However, here's a solution:

I'd build with a WMP54G, that's an exact match for the Comcast router.
