Lucky for you, when I installed Win7 (it was also a 32bit -> 64bit OS 
upgrade for me) it turned out the wireless card I had has a *really* crappy 
website, and of course no 64bit drivers at all.  Luckily I have another 
desktop PC with a wireless card from a more reputable manufacturer (which of 
course advertised Win7 and 64bit compatibility on their website) so I simply 
swapped them over.
