Belkin PreN Notebook Network card problem

I have a Gateway 7426GX latop with WinXP Home with all updates.
I have a Belkin PRE N WAP and it works great and it also has the
latest drivers installed..
The built in G wireless in the laptop works perfectly for several days
in a row if I leave the computer on.. When I bought the Belkin I also
bought a matching Belkin Wireless notebook card. I have the F5D8010
ver 1002 notebook card with the latest drivers installed on the
notebook.
The notebook card has had a problem from day 1 and that is that the
card fails after about 4 hours of working. the card works great and
then it locks up and stops transferring data...the laptop is fine but
the card fails. I pull the card out and pop it back in and it works
for another couple of hours and then it fails again and this will go
on all day long. i dont think it is heat as i have pulled it out and
felt it but it doesnt feel hot.

Has anyone else had issues with this wirless card?

Thanks

Apparently the people at Belkin have had issues with this version of
this card before. They are shipping me a replacement ASAP.
