Well... 

I have a 3com etherlink III pcmcia card (3c589) that I am trying to use in 
my Dell Latitude XP.  This card *should* be covered by driver zp.

So, anyway... everytime I try and boot with the damn thing, I get 
sumthin to the effect of "EEPROM doesnt match."  Then, when I flip back
to DOS to try and run the 3com config software, I end up having to use
CHECKCIS.EXE to reload the flash code onto the card, because something has
corrupted it.

I have spent quite a bit of time on this, with no luck.  perhaps someone
has had the same problem and knows a workaround? or I am just doing sumthing
blatantly wrong?
