too many wireless adapters?

I returned the adapter to the store where the tech said said he has seen some
returned. The usb was $19. and the new is $54. marked down to $39.
Got a Netgear card rather than a usb adapter. Could not remove the usb via
add/remove and problems began such as add/remove not populating.
I have formatted reinstalled the os and drivers and am set to go throught
the drill again.
Thank you for all your help. Btw, in connections I only have local area and
firewire; there is no other connective device.
