What are you talking about? A network card, a router?

Thank you for not being verbose.
If a product needs a new driver you should just install one.
I suspect that many of DLinks' PCI cards are fairly
reference designs and can use the standard driver from the
respective chipset (on the card) manufacturer, which is
likely to be updated more often than what DLink offers on
their website.

On a related note, I just noticed a system that had a DLink
USB Wifi adapter installed - but the adapter itself was not
plugged into the port, and the tray application for this
card (shows link status and signal strength) had somehow
climbed to using over 150MB of memory, clearly something
wrong with it... though this was on a system running Win2k
w/SP4, not XP w/SP3.
