System locks when inserting wireless card

I have a Compaq Armada E500 with a D-Link DWL-650+ wireless pcmcia
card. Every time the pc tries to access the NIC the system locks. If I
remove the card when the systems is locked, it becomes free again.

I few months ago I tested also with a USRobotics wireless card and had
the same problem! Other card, like Xircom Realport card (wired
connection) works fine. But from now on I need a wireless connection.

What I've done already:
- Installed the latest bios of the Compaq
- Installed the latest driver for the D-link DWL-650+
- Installed on a fresh Windows 2000 and XP Pro. Both with the same
result : pc hangs when inserting the card.
- If I checked the hardware issues, everything looks fine. No question
marks or that kind of stuff.
- I tried the D-Link card on another pc and it works fine.
- I tried another D-link card in the Compaq but the problem still
exists.

Does somebody has any suggestions?

You try both slots? I had the same type problem with a wired 3com nic.
Worked fine, then one day locked system up on boot up, switched slots and
works fine. Tried going back, but still locks up, in a Gateway Solo laptop.

Good Luck!
