The Dell Latitude D600 only has XP drivers. Did you install XP drivers in compatibility mode? What Linksys model do you own, and did you install Windows 7 drivers for it?

What is the specific error message? Also, are you running a beta, RC, or RTM/retail version of Windows 7? Did you do an in-place upgrade, or was this a clean install? If it was an upgrade, what was the previous OS? Have you installed or removed any applications recently?

To clarify: you did a clean install and you haven't added or removed any applications between the time things worked and when things stopped working?

Linksys doesn't provide a Windows 7 driver for that card.

Are you certain there were no updates installed? Usually if something suddenly stops working, there's a reason why.

What BIOS revision do you have? Are you running A16?

Another forum user said he got the ethernet controller working by using the Broadcom Ethernet NIC NetXtreme Desktop Driver, found here:

Broadcom.com - Ethernet NIC NetXtreme Desktop Driver Downloads

Here's the forum thread:

http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/31483-dell-latitude-d600-windows-7-drivers-needed.html

Is that the driver you found? I'm stumped as to why things stopped working. Have you checked your BIOS settings to make sure nothing was disabled?
