Dell driver update for Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card

I have a Latitude D600 with TrueMobile 1300 WLAN card.

I recently rebuilt this machine with a fresh copy of XP SP3 and downloaded the various drivers from Dell including the TrueMobile 1300 driver (R65194). Microsoft Windows Update then offered me:

I installed this and immediately encountered problems with the TrueMobile card with the following being reported over and over by pop-up dialogues that would constantly interupt as you used the machine;

• Dell Wireless WLAN Card Wireless Network Controller encountered a problem and needed to close.

and

• Dell Wireless WLAN Card Wireless Network Controller has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I reported this in http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19290058/19537205.aspx#19537205 but received precisely no feedback.

The fresh previously unused HDD in my D600 then went bad in a big way and so I have rebuilt again. I am again being offered the TrueMobile 1300 update but (not too surprisingly) not opted to install it.

Is there anyone from Dell that can comment on what this update is, why it's being offered, what issues it is supposed to address and why it so seriously messed up my machine before? Should I ignore it and banish it never to be mentioned by Windowsupdate again? Are Dell aware of this update and it messing machines? Is there an update to R65194 on the Dell site that I should use or will this be the same as this apparently 'bad' update being offered via WindowsUpdate?

Thx.../Iain
