To install 3Com 10/100 Mini PCI Ethernet adapter support

If your HP Notebook contains a built-in 3Com 10/100 Mini PCI Ethernet Adapter, you
need to install the LAN driver. If you use Suspend or Hibernate states while connected to
the LAN, then you also need to install the 3Com NT Power Management TDI service so
that the LAN connection will be restored upon resume.
The Advanced Power Management (APM) mobile enhancement for NT4 AND Phoenix
Card Executive is needed by the 3Com NT Power Management TDI service.
The LAN driver and Power Management TDI service are in the
\HP\DRIVERS\NT4\LAN directory.
