[dba-SQLServer]OT: *&^$*& PCMCIA Card

Hello:

Just wondering if anyone out there can help out here with a little hardware 
advice.

I bought a PCMCIA card for my laptop (running on Win98) a few years ago, 
installed it and it has always worked well.  Then I format my laptop with 
Win2k Server evaulation and the card does not work properly anymore (same 
laptop, same slot, same driver, just different OS). The sympton?  It is 
*&*(&$% SLOW (must ping it with +3000 ms wait time to produce a response).  
Can anyone provide any advice?  The card model is PCMPC200 from linksys.

When I update the driver, it says something about not being digitally signed 
and thus the network adapter may not work properly.  Do I need a new card 
just for Win2k Server evaluation?

(As you have guessed it, I got the win2k server eval edition from the 70-215 
exam of the ms curriculm.  I can't complete any of the exercise because it 
requires two computers and the network card on my second computer is not 
working properly)

Thanks in advance,
Billy
