I don't have any empty slots on my mobo, and am looking for the best USB wireless adapter.

Edit: Needs to work with Windows 7 64 bit & preferably Linux as well.

Netopia makes a solid & reliable USB interface.
I don't know if it meets your compatibility needs, but I'm sure they'd post it up on their site.

Sorry I probably misread.

In any case there is a link to USB in my post too.

The reason for this specific USB. It is small but it has an attached Antenna which makes it a Very Good Wireless Client. It comes with USB extension that helps you to place the card above the system.

There are Drivers for Vista x86 and x64 that work with Win 7 too.

Works with Linux too ( http://www.edimax.com/en/suppo...d=8&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=44 ).

RealTek USB WiFi here

Works with Win7 64-bit if you install the drivers manually, and browse to the driver CD's VistaX64 directory.

Hmm, the link got borked, guess AT doesn't like M e r i t l i n e . c o m
