Default any need to update wireless card driver?

I have a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 card currently using a driver dated
3/22/05. D-link has an updated driver v. 2.11 dated 4/11/05. I'm wary
of updating drivers, whether they be for a video card, sound card, etc
because it seems there are often more problems with the newer drivers.
Also, the new D-link driver download is 14mb, so I assume the entire
setup program has been updated? Also, MS has a newer driver dated 4/07
(269 kb) on their update webpage, but I've been told to stay away from
MS drivers as they can screw things up.

I'm having no problems with the current setup. Is there any advantage
to installing an updated driver, either the D-link or the newer MS
driver? Thx.

That's exactly what I was going to say.

If it causes problems for you later on, you can always update the
drivers then. Not worth the risk of messing something up if it works fine.
