Did you install all the drivers for your computer from HP? Motherboard?
Texas Instruments Smart Card controller? If not, you need to do so. Get
them from HP's website for your specific model laptop.

Sounds like the Vodafone card isn't compatible with Vista. I would check
with their tech support.

Vodafone Mobile Connect card is compatible with Vista 100%. From Soft
9.1. The same problems have users with PCMCI cards in major to
specify... wireless cards and with 3g cards incopatible with TI
GemCore based SmartCard controller. 3g moble connect card is working
great untill you update vista, and TI GemCore based SmartCard
controller is updated/instaled..
Google-ing around discovered issue with above mentioned Texas
Instruments PCI GemCore based SmartCard controller and PCMCIA
cards.The sort of "solution" to this is disabling controller in Device
Manager. After that 3g and wifi cards are working great...

SOLUTION!!!!
Same symptoms, same brand, same BSOD.
Confirm the driver version of your Texas Instruments PCI GemCore based
SmartCard controller is 1.0.1.19 (or older) then Google the terms:
"GemCore" and "1.0.1.20".
The exact driver zip file title was: "fmd-en-20080401120816"
I did a manual driver update from Device Manager, not from the included
setup file.
Plugged in my Wireless G adapter, restarted 5 times, no issues!
