Damon,
I haven't seen this specific error, but did you configure the card using
3COM's DOS utility? 3c5x9cfg.exe, I believe it is.
You can download it from their web site as part of the Etherdisk driver
set. You need to run this utility from DOS to configure the card - booting
from a diskette is fine - and make sure the card isn't set so it conflicts
with anything in your system. You can set the IRQ, media options and
various other things using this utility, including disabling PnP on the
card if you need to.
This should hopefully solve the problem for you. If already did this after
you installed the card, I'm afraid I can't help. :/
Matt
