Problem with D-Link DWL-650+ wireless network card

[neonfiremanqtip]

Have a D-Link DWL-650+ (here) and use it with a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop. Can configure it fine and it connects to the local network and internet. But, comp randomly restarts when using the card.

Edit: I did wire the laptop directly to the router, and everything worked fine... no restarting problems.

Anyone seen something like this before? Could it be a problem with the network settings? Or, is it likely a hardware problem, requiring me to replace the network adapter?

Thanks.

Probably some hardware incompatibility between the Card and the Laptop.

Its the cards drivers i think. They aren't that stable. I have teh same card in my Toshiba Satellite 1410 and it reboots sometimes. If u disable the auto reboot, it shows some driver irq less than equal error which equates to a software driver problem usually. It only happens to me on shutdown so i just hibernate my laptop to get around it.
