We had good luck with Linksys PCMCIA cards in our PCG-V505 series
laptops, FWIW.

Sounds like you either some resource conflicts in your laptop or maybe
you need an updated driver.
Check what driver version the card is using and check dlink for
updated drivers.

I have been updating the drivers for over two years now. They even
changed the name to "airplus.sys" about a year and a half ago. After
researching the problem I found that it is common for vaio's to bluescreen
with the DWL-650+. The problem is that D-Link wrote a driver that isn't
compatible with vaio's.
