Some PCI LAN cards require the software be installed before the PCI card. I know that 3Com works this way. I shut down the computer and remove the card, reboot and install the drivers and then shutdown again and reinstall the PCI card. Reboot and Plug and Play should detect the LAN as new hardware and allow you to use the drivers. In some hard cases you have to try installing the card in another PCI slot to get things to work. Take care and all the best!
