Can anyone tell me where to find a wireless usb adapter with XP 64 bit
drivers? Drivers seem mostly to be for 32 bit. Would that work?
Thanks.

You could try tracing it down, by looking at a chip manufacturer site.
Ralinktech claims to have WinXP x64 drivers for their USB stuff.

http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php

*******

You could also go through the list on Newegg, look for something
with the feature set you want, then download the driver for it.
Selecting one at random from the list...

"ZyXEL NWD270N IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE 802.11n Draft USB 2.0
Wireless Adapter Up to 150Mbps Wireless Data Rates
WEP, WPA/WPA2, and 802.1x Support" $32

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833181105

Download page

http://us.zyxel.com/Support/Download...17&type=Driver

Inside the revision 2.0 download, I find WINXP/X64 folder. And in that
I find rt2870.inf . In fact, the ZyXEL I selected, contains
an Ralinktech chipset.

It won't take you that long to find one.

Driver packages which come with "X86" folder and "X64" folder, support
32 bit and 64 bit OSes respectively. That is how I can tell that
ZyXEL supports WinXP x64.

Normally yes, but Win XP Pro x64 had narrow distribution and your
assumption is precarious.

Look at the customer reviews for the product on Newegg, until
you find a reviewer who claims to be using in in WinXP x64 ?
Maybe that will be proof enough for you.
