Vista 64 bit, wireless network card

I am looking for a decent wireless network card for Vista 64bit. I can not seem to find a decent one for the life of me. I tried a new Linksys but that was not fun to even come close to setting up right. Any direction would be appreciated.

Preferably Vista certed. I know please do not laugh.

I have a LINKSYS WMP54GS in my kid's machine and Vista picked it right up. Even used the drivers from Vista's update manger.

The drivers on their site and on the CD are for Windows 2000/XP. If they are installed, uninstall them and use the Windows Update to find the drivers for it.

Believe it or not I actually got a network card that worked but kept crashing because World of Warcraft sends an odd pack that my router could not handle. Here I thought it was the Wireless card all the time.

I have a Rosewill G300EX and I had to "jiggle the handle" a little to get it to work. But it works fine. $15
