Don't buy D-Link
I've had 2 D-Link Wireless Access Points, a D-Link switch and recently a D-Link wireless PCI card. I researched the card before buying it, and had seen some driver issues, but assumed it was mostly dumb users. Apparently I was wrong. I now get the BSOD daily due to driver compatibility issues. I emailed D-Link tech support with the problem (which they must know about, it is everywhere in internet forums), and this is the response I got:
If you have already installed the latest drivers you may want to try installing the card into another PCI slot. There may be a Iompatibility issue
How stupid are these people? They have the nerve to tell me that, when it is a fact that their drivers are unstable with Windows XP? I felt like calling them up just to yell (and might do so later).
I think that I did find a fix however, but no thanks to D-Link or anyone related to them. We'll see when I get home tonight.
