XP's hardware manager often gets completely mindless if the driver is
not available when it first sees the adapter.
Remove the NIC from device manager; software from add/remove programs.
Shut down, remove card, install driver (and software, but WZC works well
with the card so it's your choice), shut down, install card. The card
should be identified and installed correctly on restart. If there is a
Linksys control applet running, disable autostart from the applet itself
and terminate it, then set up the network connection using WZC and the
wizard.
