LNE100TX problem

[KH]

I recently upgraded my computer to WIN2k SP2 with most of the current
patches. I bought a 'network in a box' kit two years ago from Linksys and
am attempting to install an LNE100TX card in this computer. When I
installed the card, it was recognized and I followed the instructions for
installation of the driver from the disk included in the Linksys box. The
computer hung. I rebooted and the boot never finished. I booted with F8
and uninstalled the card. I rebooted and the computer and the card was
recoginzed again. I installed the driver and the computer hung again. When
I rebooter again, the OS came up, but the device manager complained that the
NIC had no driver. I unstalled the NIC and went to Linksys and gor a new
driver. I reinstalled the card using the new driver. Same problem. The
computer hung during the driver installation, but rebooted sucessfully and
the device manager shows that the device has no driver. All the lights on
the hub are lit I wrote to (e-mail address removed), but they were not much
help. Will someone please help me?

Very possible that the NIC is defective. Any chance of swapping that NIC out
for a new one? You'd be amazed at the weird stuff that goes on when a piece
of hardware is going bad.
