Wireless network adapter for windows 7?

Question

I'm having a ton of problems with finding a wireless network adapter that works with windows 7. The compatability list microsoft has is complete BS. I've tried 2 adapters a netgear rangemax pci card and a linksys Rangemax WUSB600N USB adapter and both are on that list and they both didn't work at all. Has anyone confirmed a wireless network adapter that works with windows 7? I've called tech support with both netgear and linksys and they both said they don't have any drivers that will work with windows 7 for any wireless adapter product they have.

Update:

no vista drivers haven't worked on an adapter yet, the generic drivers that came with windows 7 don't work either.

I suggest you call up the folks at www.newegg.com

Newegg has excellent prices and has excellent customer service and an excellent return policy.  Talk to them about your experiences and they should be able to help you.

In general, you can't beat an INTEL network card.  Here is one for around $30

Intel has windows 7 drivers available on their web site - both 32bit and 64 bit.
