Vista 64bit ultimate - need a compatible wireless card

I have Windows Vista 64bit Ultimate version and need a wireless card (PCI or
USB). My ADSL router is a 54mb Netgear D834G router. I bought a PCI
netgear WG311T card to find they only do drivers for the 32bit versions, any
ideas if what adapter with 64bit drivers I could buy to connect to my
wireless network? USB or PCI.

I use a Asus wl-138g pci card with vista 64, that shows up in device
manager as a broadcom card.
