It might help if you told what brand adapter you have.

Andrew's site used to list a few adapters that he had success with. I think they were Belkin adapters.

Yeah, the only one I really had success with was the Belkin F5U 103, but those aren't supported at all under Vista or Win7. They're discontinued and I'd consider them 'legacy' at this point. Can't recommend them.

I bought a bunch of different adapters from ebay, but never had good luck with any of them, so that's why I never bought a bunch and resold them. Would have been nice to have a $5 solution.
