The Zonet ZEW2500P has a 5 egg Newegg rating...
Prudent to use a mainstream, name brand adapter in these early days of Win 7.
This is the best selling wireless adapter on Newegg. Wouldn't that qualify it as mainstream?

No. Best selling means cheap usually means lousy engineering. Common sense.

Mainstream+consistent quality = Linksys, in terms of likely having proper drivers for the very latest operating systems. Alternative might be ZyXel. But Netgear, D-Link, no: they are marketing heavy, engineering poor.

Using non-mainstream with cutting- edge operating systems is always a problem.
