OK...

I've got three identical laptops (IBM Thinkpads 380XD, Pentium 233, 64MB, & Win95B). These laptops use a 3Com 10/100 LAN CardBus PC Card Model #3CCFE575BT. I've successfully used a restore CD on one laptop. The PCMCIA card worked when I put it back in after the restore. Windows found it, reconized it, and installed drivers for it without a problem. I restored the next two laptops, but when I insert the PCMCIA card, Windows reconizes it as a PCI Ethernet Controller. I think, "No problem," and download the drivers (downloaded from driverguide and 3Com). After installing the correct drivers, Windows gives a device failure erroe with the comment to try changing the drivers. If I reboot (which Windows never asked me to do), then it hangs booting Windows. If I remove the device from Device Manager and install in using the "Add New Hardware Wizard", Windows asks to reboot, yet still hangs.

I've tried all three 3Com cards in the laptop that works and vice versa. I tried looking at the drivers on the laptop that works, but it states that no drivers were installed. This laptop and card connects to the network fine and works great.

Any ideas?
