    I got one of the 3com combo cards off epay with no driver file. I went to the 3com site and downloaded the only driver that looked appropriate for the model card. It showed it for win 95,98, and 2000 but did not list Xp. Will this work? Or is there a better driver? I have not instaled the card or driver yet. I do not want to mess up what works now with the OE setup but I have a wireless card I would like to install next to the 3com card to go internal wifi. I have found it is better to ask BEFORE screwing up :eek: Thank you for any input.

    The correct driver has one of those little "C" clamp compression logos and is labeled, " 3cmpci.exe ".

    Got up a little late this morning! Once you have been in the fishing business you get in the habit of being an early riser, or in the early days, going to work when they give last call. Dredging, which is all about the tide doesn't help with regular sleeping hours.
