Uninstalling the Card

Sometimes previous or unfinished installations leave
problems that affect card operation. If the card installation
is unsuccessful for any reason, your best course may be to
remove the card and its software and repeat the installation
procedures with a fresh installation of the operating
system. Possible problems may be indicated if:
If you are having any of these problems:
1 Remove the LAN card from the card slot.
2 Open Network/Adapters.
3 Select FE574B-3Com 10/100 LAN PCCard-Fast Ethernet

Networking Installed" on page 15.
