Wireless Card for x64

I am running the 64-bit edition of Windows XP, and I can't seem to find a wireless network card that has drivers to support it. I have tried pci cards from D-link and Belkin, and a USB from Linksys. Anybody know of a card that supports this edition of Windows? Thanks.

I dont think there are any x64 drivers for wireless cards yet. Or at least i havent heard of any. Intel is suppose to becoming out with one soon. Further more i would have never chose the 64 bit. There is hardly anytthing out for it yet. I would have waited at least another year or two.

There isn't "hardly anything" out for Windows 64-bit; I've been running it for several months and all of my hardware works. But that's what you have to do: check beforehand to make sure that there are drivers available.

If the hardware manufacturers don't have 64-bit drivers out yet, complain about it to them.

Im just saying in my experience working with novell servers, and other software from many companies x64 bit computers will not run there applications. x64 bit has just not yet become a precedent for software programmers. There are thousands of campanies that not yet incorporated
x64 bit drivers.

I have a Linksys WUSB54GC USB card and a DLINK DWL-G510 rev. B1 pci card.

If I am interpreting that correctly, that means that your DLink PCI card has the RT2500 chipset, so you can use the RT2500 PCI drivers from this website: http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm
