3Com 3cn3ac1556 drivers not loading
I'm having a problem installing this mini-pci card to an Inspiron 4000 with Win2K. I cannot get the drivers to load. I have downloaded them from Dell's site and tried to install, but no luck. During install, after pointing to the extracted folder, I get an error: "Windows was unable to locate a driver for this device." I have three cards at my disposal and have tried all three with the same results. Also, I have run Dell Diagnostics on both the modem and NIC and they have tested fine. Any pointers?
BTW, I have updated the BIOS to most recent (A23).

John,
The files I got to work are wdhabbe.inf for the modem and net556n5.inf for the NIC. I got them from the download above.
Just for reference, these mini-PCI cards are DP/N: 052UUT, Rev.A00, 3Com combo (NIC/modem), model: 3CN3AC1556 (NOT B). On the package (which may not mean anything) they came in, there's DP/N*SCISN*, REV*SCIREV*, MODEL NUMBER: 3CN3AC1556-D-100, ITEM NUMBER: 53524-HD.
I purchased them from eBay as new cards. They seem new since they came in anti-static bags with matching model number stickers on the bags.
