Installing Network Card = Error Code 1f6

OK, so i just reformated my dad's computer and i
reinstalled Windows 98se on it. I installed all the
drivers for everything except for one problem, the
network card. The first time i tried to instal the
drivers, it says they weren't compatible, but i took out
the card to verify that the drivers and the card are the
same model. So i went into the control panel and then Add
Hardware, and installed the drivers like that. Which
worked, but when i restarted the computer and went to
device manager, the Network Card was disabled.. and when
i enabled it, it still didn't work. So when i reinstalled
the drivers this time through device manager, at the end
after its already copied the drivers from disk, it
says "Windows encountered an error while trying to
install the driver for this device. Error code:1F6" And
every single time i've tried to install the drivers, i
get the same error. The card worked before i formated, so
i'm pretty sure it isn't the card. What could cause this
error and how do you fix it? thanks!

For $10 or less you could buy a new card, complete with warranty and
drivers... You'll save more than $10 in time and frustration dealing with
what you've got now...
