IRQL problem when connected to my wireless pc card

Question

Hi everyone   I'm having a problem with my Inspiron 600m (running on Windows XP).  I just purchased a Linksys PC WPC54G Notebook card.  Here's the problem, when I plug it into the cardbus, it's working just fine (sometimes) for about 10 minutes.  Then I get a blue screen saying IRQL_NOT_LESSER_OR_EQUAL blah blah blah Beginning System Dump of Physical Memory.  I tried going to Linksys thinking that maybe it was problem's with the card.  But that wasn't the case, the card was working fine on other laptops.  Other time's the laptop would start to freeze right when the PC card is put in the cardbus.  Anyone know how to resolve the IRQL problem? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Have you contacted LInksys about the problem - I know, it's probably useless as they will end up blaming Dell, but it is worth a try in case they have had this problem reported by other users. Steve

I called again, yeah you were right about the blaming Dell part :smileyindifferent: So I'm not quite sure what to do now.  Maybe I should just buy the internal wireless from Dell, hopefully that might come through problem free? Or would it just come out the same way
