As per the title. I need a USB NIC that will run well under Win 7 64 bit. The best would be if it was also a USB flash drive but that is not a deal breaker.

I want it for use with desktops and a program called connectify that allows one to use you desktop as a impromptu Accesspoint or adhock network device.

Ideas?

Hi Lens Pirate! Sorry this response is delayed, hopefully you've already found a solution but if not...

This list has a few options for USB wireless network adapters that have been tested and certified 'Compatible with Windows 7' (both 32- and 64-bit) by Microsoft. They're listed in no particular order, so you might want to narrow it down further by reading individual product reviews on a third party retailer's website. Good luck!
