Buy something that is supported. A 64bit linux kernel can not use a
32bit driver in any way so ndiswrapper won't help.
The rt2x00 driver has support for a number of usb chips from ralink so
if you can find one of the devices using those chips then at least you
will have something with fully open source drivers and a chance to have
it actually work.
