Network cards

Sir, I have been trying to install a network card under
the win 98 platform. I have tried 4 different network
cards. Windows detects each card, but does not allow for
complete driver installation. I have tried downloading
and updating drivers, removal and re-installation. etc.
Have call tech support from local service provider. They
too are baffled. The device manager states: " device is
no working properly, not present etc. Could you please
help with this issue. It seem like windows just want to
use the default drivers, meaning the ones provided with
the WIN 98 SE CD.

4 cards tried are LinkSys LNE100TX, D-link, Kingston KNE
30T, and a 3COM C905TX. all are PCI configurations.

What, exactly, do you mean by "does not allow for complete driver
installation" ??? Do you get a message that files are needed and cannot be
found? If so, what file(s)?
