PCMCIA network adapter problem

Hi everyone,
	I have encountered a problem while installing a PCMCIA 
network adapter in my notebook in Windows 95 environment. The card 
is Accton EN2212 and I'm using its Win 95 driver downloaded from 
Accton's internet site. The installation process was completed 
successfully. However, when I reboot the system, a message 
appears: "Microsoft Networking - The following error occurred 
while loading protocol 0. Error 254." The system does not halt at 
this point; all functions still work properly except network. I've 
tried Win 95's on-line help and Resource Kit, but cannot find any 
clue to solve it. 
	The network card has worked consistently under Novell 
NetWare and Windows for Workgroup 3.11 on this and other 
notebooks. However, this is not quite the same in Win95. What we 
discovered is that we need to setup the card right the very first 
time Win95 detected the card. If we get the message "... Error 
254" after installing of the card, no matter what adjustments we 
make to Network settings in Control Panel, network will not work. 
Even if we remove the device (either from System or Network) and 
reinstall it, it won't work. What's more bizard is that this 
doesn't happen consistently on a particular notebook. If one 
notebook is successfully in installing the card on one hard disk, 
there is no guarantee that it will work again on a different hard 
disk. By and large, there is no pattern as to when and how it will 
work properly.
	Can someone please help me on this issue? Your help is 
much appreciated.

Michael
