Need CD

I bought an Intel(R) PRO/100 LAN+Modem56 CardBus II (mbla3456) OEM, but
I really need the CD.

Any suggestions?

You may be able to download the needed files from the manufacturer's
website.

The trick is knowing exactly which of the nebulously titled and
described online files (of which I have a great number) are to be used
and for what. This card is pointedly described as unsupported by any
Xircom/Intel guidance. One assumes the CD would have it exactly right.

Been there, done that:

If you actually saw a place on Intel where the CD is offered for sale,
please post that URL.

Intel has ended support of discontinued cards:

-----------------------------------------

This is not a matter of being too stupid to follow the stipulated
process. I could do that with my eyes shut and have tried every
suggested driver several times (even reformatting and reinstalling Win98
5 times to clear everything out and start over). There are details
which interfere with the normal process, and one would assume everything
necessary would be done properly if using the actual Intel CD.

One networking pro used several expletives to describe these combo
cards. Somebody has the CD. I need a copy.

since you have tried *many* different drivers ...have you looked in device
manager in 'safe mode' to see if you have multiple ghost devices installed
....this can cause problems sometimes ...esp. with combo cards..

I did not see any mention of downloading the original CD ...the only way to
know for sure would be to call there support line...sorry

Not that exactly, but I've had to reformat/reinstall win98 3 times in as
many weeks.

Juts now did the "safe" thing and see only the one - which is one
windows installed by default.

Is there any way to keep "safe" mode from trashing your desktop?

There are freeware/shareware programs around that will save/restore
your icon layout if you dig around .... although it's one more thing
to have running in the systray. It's always bugged me that Windows
isn't a bit more friendly in this respect. I can't believe it's that
difficult to preserve the layout from before a safe-mode boot and
restore it afterwards and it would seem that it should be designed
that way from the start. After all how many people actually *don't*
object to having their icon layout screwed up?

Jim,

Get this free utility. It's getting hard to find. If you have a
problem with the download I'll put it on my site.
(icon_restore.exe). Install it then right click My Computer and
choose save icon layout. If they ever get disorganized right click
it again and restore layout. Like after you have been in Safe Mode.
