Where did you find it? I've never seen it, and it wasn't on the Dell site as of early this afternoon, Eastern time.

XP Pro, right?
: I am using the driver from the WPC54G CD that came with the card.
Check the Linksys Web site and see if there's a more recent one. But be careful; there are several versions of that card, and some of them take different drivers. Linksys is pretty good about telling you what works with what, but you do have to look.
: I have a linksys wrt54G wireless router.
I don't believe I've ever seen a Linksys router or AP that was shipped with the latest firmware. The latest in your case is 4.30.5, which came out this spring. A peculiarity is that after you install it, the router reports itself to be a WRT54GL. Another peculiarity is that the installation partially hoses your settings, so you may have to reconfigure the router. But since you're having problems, I'd definitely go to the Web site and get the latest version. (I've upgraded all my WRT54Gs, so I'm not telling you to do something I wouldn't do.)
: Placement has been with my computer sitting on the same table as the : router untill i get this to work.
That should be close enough. :^)
: I has nothing to do with my router as i have other computers that work : fine with this wireless router.
You may well be right, but I don't think the conclusion follows. If the router's firmware is much older than the card's driver, or vice versa, there may be an incompatibility that hasn't shown up in your other tests.
: I'm trying to figure out how to trouble shoot the error : : The device status says This device cannot find enough free resources : that it can use. (Code 12)
The one resource that I've found to be critical is memory. You ought to have at least 512MB for what you're trying to do.
Most (or at least many) D600s have an internal wireless card. I take it this one doesn't? If it does, I'd make sure it's turned off, although I'm pretty sure I've run both wireless interfaces simultaneously on my D600.
Have you Googled the exact error message? I've found that no matter what screwy error I encounter, I'm rarely the only one.
