Yep.  I'd have to agree, and strongly recommend against D-Link stuff.
I've had two wireless PCMCIA cards die after about a year of use.

Like an idiot, I went out and got a D-Link DI-624 wireless-G router
anyway.  Very disappointing.  It constantly makes a high-pitched squeal.
It refuses to sit flat on a table (tips over).  The setup GUI has
problems with mozilla.  Most importantly, it stops accepting new
wireless connections every few days.  I have to push the reset button
all the time.  Argh.
