can't install 3com wireless card - win 98

Hello, please can anyone help me?

I have got adsl broadband, a 3com (3CRWE754G72-A/B) 11g wireless
router with 4 ethernet ports, an XP desktop, a Playstation, an Acorn
all with RJ45 cable and an XP laptop with a 3com (3CRWE154G72)
wireless card all working OK.

The problem is the other laptop - running windows98SE - I can't get
it to work the wireless card.

It keeps saying there is a problem - reinstall the driver.

I have tried uninstalling and starting again, reinstalling/repairing,
restarting, all using the CD's installation.

I have tried via control panel/install new hardware, but it says
windows cannot find the drivers on the installation CD.

The card is ok, btw, cos I tried swapping it with the other one,
which is identical.

I have looked on the 3com website but not found any help.

Has anyone any ideas, please?

Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.

Sure provided alot of info on the subject not at hand concerning the NIC
model numbers on the working PC/laptop. Vice-versa for the laptop and NIC
it can't seem to get working. Any particular reason?

I am not sure what more info you need to help me?

It's the same model card in both XP laptop and 98SE laptop. I bought
both and the router from the same place at the same time. Shop been
shut for Easter ever since (( so unable to help me.

Both cards work in the XP, and neither in the 98SE.

Acupuncture is a jab well done.

Excuse my oversight.

Investigation shows little or no user assessment in form of user reviews.
So this is a relatively new product. So it may have bugs not easily seen
prior to purchase by the consumer.

The few reviews I found are not heartening and are all on XP laptops. For
instance:
http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Review...WE554G72-6.php
Linux users can't seem to get it to work. Nothing on 98SE.
I can view portions, or some pages at some websites due to blocking Java.
Primary 3Com website is all Java.

3Com cards seem particularly sensitive to BIOS version. I had a
similar problem and after much frustration updated the BIOS and behold
the card came to life. ( I still have a problem with login to a PDC -
but at least the network now talks to itself )

>Hello Gertie,
I have the same problem that you have. Did you solve
it? If so would you mind telling me how. Thanks in
advance for your help.

As I know is this 3com card installations need install from
setup.exe on 3com cd rom
installer install driver and necessary application.
if you try to install from add/remove hardware, it wouldn't work.
if you have problem with installation,
try "section 2 trouble shoot" on manual.
http://support.3com.com/infodeli/too...079_6aaa03.pdf

if you still have problem
Please contribute the state of an exact obstacle.
(or you can use 3com's tech support
