Windows XP 64 and wireless NIC drivers?

[BoboKatt]

Hey all,
Well I have Win X 64 running on my server with 4 GIGS or RAM. All my drivers worked, printer, scanner, video card, chipset audio etc... but for the life of me I cannot seem to find any available drivers for my wireless NIC from DLINK. For that matter no matter what brand I look into buying which supports the new N Standard, no company makes XP 64 drivers. DLINK does not, Linksys does not and Belkin does not.

What am I to do apart from running 50 feet of cable to my router as the internal NIC have drivers. Sigh it's my last hurdle.

Any brands supported or are there any third party drivers that I can try?

Or would XP 64 have maybe any generic built in drivers for any wireless nics? For instance when I first tried Vista, it recognized my Dlink 520AG wireless NIC as some weird generic brand but it work right on the installation of Vista. True I did not have the Dlink software working but I did not need it. Any recommendations for Xp 64 that anyone might know to work with generic drivers that come with XP 64?

thanks!
Bob

To the best of my knowledge it's very hard to find generic wireless NIC drivers as the devices vary. And unfortunately for you with the release of Vista x64 I think that XP x64 will fall to the wayside. Once Dlink gets their show on the road (Microsoft requires both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista drivers from now and onward) I doubt they will create another older version for XP x64 owners like you.

Your best bet is probably to get one of those gaming adapters or a router that supports client mode.
