FWIW
I have been successfully using a NetGear WNA1100 Wireless-N USB adapter on both WinXP Pro (x86) and my Win 7 Home (64bit) lap top with NO DPC spikes and full speed to the internet through a Linksys WRT 160n router.. The internal lap top wireless had DPC spikes to to 3000 usec and PSDR freezes.. The USB wireless adapter does not.

YMMV

I bought a D-Link PCI-Express Xtreme N card, which was delivered today. It seems to work OK, BUT I kept getting major DPC spikes and had to run the Firewire driver in Safe Mode 2 to avoid garbled audio even though the driver
utility recommended Safe Mode 1. Google turned up a reference to a far
better driver (from Atheros, the chip maker) than the one installed by
default), but I still have to run in Safe Mode 1.

WiFi cards are known to cause high DPC spikes. It is strongly recommended
that you don't use a wireless NIC when running PowerSDR.

I wouldn't -- except that I want access to QRZ.com and the DX cluster, and I don't want that LAN cable compromising my lightning-protected zone.
