[COMP] Windows netoworking wierdness

Hello, 

I've got a D-Link 520 ethernet card here that
keeps dying in Windows98.  About a week after 
originally installing, it suddenly started giving
this message upon bootup:

Your network adapter is not working properly. You may 
need to set it up again. For more information, see the 
Network Troubleshooter in Windows Help. 

Reinstalling the drivers didn't seem to help, 
even after removing *everything* from the Network
Settings and reinstalling from scratch.  It's a 
pretty old PCI card and I think I remember hearing 
something about how they aren't *really* PnP? hrmm...
Tried disabling PnP in the BIOS and presto, it 
starts working.

That was a week ago.  Just booted the machine 
today and suddenly that error msg is back.  I 
haven't installed any new software or made any 
changes whatsoever.  

Any ideas/suggestions?

Never let someone who says it cannot be done 
interrupt the person who is doing it.
