Now if only someone from dell would acknowledge this and start investigating it. I am not the only oerson at my company having the same problem with Vista and we are about to start a huge Vista rollout (+/- 15 000+) machines and I would hate for them to go with another brand just because of an incompatibility with Dell notebooks.
My problem seems to be fine if I go into standby, but then that also seems to bring about it's own problems so I prefer to once in a while reboot. I ma going to give it a go by downloading the driver from the Intel site to see if that helps at all. Someone also told me that it may be related to having a mapped drive and that I should disconnect my mapped drives, but that only seems to have helped a small bit.
Don't necessarily belive it's just because of VISTA. I have tried to research this to help and typed NDIS.SYS CPU USAGE and came back with many issues involving this, but they all related to WIN XP....so I'll keep trying.
Found a VISTA page. They recommend getting rid of Trend PC-Cilling or going to the website and updating to the latest patch that will help Trend work with VISTA.
Have you updated all the Windows Updates?
They also mention MS NM 3.1 and getting rid of that? It's Microsoft Network Manager.
THey mention Cisco VPN and that it might be the cause....
Shot in the dark: Disable IPV6 Connectivity under the properties of the connection.
Disable WLAN AUTOCONFIG: maybe this might work. Or if it's not enabled, maybe enable and see if the frees up the CPU: Never know.
Windows Vista WLAN Autoconfig
Unlike Windows XP, Windows Vista does not have the wireless zero configuration (WZC) service, instead the service used to detect available wireless network and manage wireless network profiles is called WLAN Autoconfig.
If you do not enable this feature, you need to use the other wireless utility which is provided by wireless adapter manufacturer in order to connect to wireless networks.
Graphical Interface Method
Here is how you can enable/disable this feature:
1. Go to Start and right click Computer. Select and click Manage.
2. Computer Management window will appear. Under Services and Applications, select Services.
(Another way to reach this is: Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
3. Scroll down and select WLAN AutoConfig.
4. Double-click the service and its properties window will appear. If the startup type is not set to automatic, click on the dropdown arrow and change it to Automatic. Click Start to start the service if it’s not started. Click OK at last.
If none of these work, I am sorry, but I am all out of ideas. Good luck.
PS...one last thought. On the DRIVERS/DOWNLOADS page for the Lattitude D830 it has new drivers dated 3/8/08 for these cards: 1505 802.11n, 1395 WLAN, 1390 WLAN and the 1490 Dual Band WLAN....maybe these new drivers might address your issue.

I have the exact same problem with the same laptop (D830) however I am using Vista Ultimate.
It appears to be an issue with the Wireless Card Driver.
I have tried going into safe mode and uninstalling the driver and disabling the wireless card and the system works 100%.
I have uninstalled the driver and let windows find the Microsoft driver and the works 100% for a couple of days.
I have unistalled the driver and installed the latest drivers from Dell and the system does not work.
