5GHz wireless N USB adapter with Windows 7

Is anyone successfully using a 5GHz wireless N USB adaptor with their Airport Extreme Dual Band on Windows 7 RC1?

I just returned my Linksys WUSB600N to Radioshack after I could not get it to work and found other people not getting it to work with even Vista. It was a dual-band adapter but just would not connect to my 5GHz network. I contacted Linksys support and they were unable to help me.

I'd be extremely grateful if someone could recommend a wireless adapter for this scenario.

P.S. I've got two MacBook Pros that can connect just fine.

Are you not satisfied having the Windows machine running on the G network? I haven't heard of any problems from any adapters on anything besides the Airport Extreme. Seems like it just doesn't like some 5GHz adapters. All the adapters I have ever used just work with the Windows wireless networks so I am not sure whats up here. The only thing I can think of is that you might want to get an N adapter that has been out for a while so that Apple had time to fix the issues.
