On the latest Etherdisk (5.0 I believe), there is a batch file that
disables all PNP support.  It's used when the 3COM card's PNP is causing
problems with configuring, or accessing the card.  It's helped for me in
the past, and may be what you need.  I believe the batch file is called
PNPDSABL.BAT, or something similar.
