Default Can't Get PCMCIA 3com network card to work

Hi, I'm having similiar problems to other people who have posted here. Older
computer, reinstalled from factory recovery CD's, now network won't work.

I have a windows 98 SE laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300) with a 3COM
PCMCIA network card (3COM Megahertz 589E). The card and computer was working
fine, using my DSL connection until I decided to reinstall the entire system
to factory defaults with the original setup CD's that came with the laptop. I
no longer use this computer, so I wanted to "clean it up" so I could sell it.
Unfortuantly, now the network connection will not work.

I have downloaded and transferred the driver for the card, and the "PC Card
Properties" dialog recognizes the card as being in Socket 1. I've tried both
drivers that came in zipped package (Net589b.inf and Net589n5.inf) with no
success.

In Device Manager, under Network adapters, it appears as either "disabled"
or as having a problem. The message it gives when it says there is a problem
is "NDIS.VXD, NTKERN.VXD device loader(s) for this device could not load the
device driver (Code 2). To fix this, click Update Driver to update the device
driver."

I've done this (several times). No help.
I re-extracted these two VXD files from the CAB files. Ho help.
I've physically removed and re-connected the cable and PCMCIA card.
Restarted the system multiple times.
Have setup the TCP/IP settings and network adapter settings in "Network".

Any ideas of what I'm missing? Thanks!
