You have conveniently left out the part that if the OS does not have
a driver for the wireless card, specifically "N" protocol cards, then
you haven't any hope of getting it to work, period.

In any case, the easiest way to get any wireless card to work in
Windows, at least up to Win-7, was to deactivate the Windows wireless
utility and use the one that accompanies the device, assuming that it
does come with a configuration utility. I have not seen any of the top
rated ones that did not. If for some reason that did not work, you
could still manually enter any of the specific information manually,
assuming that you actually took the time to learn (where did I here
that term before) how to accomplish it.
