Network Adapter card woes

I'm having a bot of bother, installing a network adapter card.

I bought it today, second hand, with no documentation. A friend pout it
in his XP machine, which recognised it, immediately, as an:

        Intel(R) PRO 100+ Management Adapter

and in which it worked, perfectly, first time.

I have put it into my Win 98SE machine this evening, and it doesn't seem
to be recognising it, Sometimes it detects new hardware, other times
not, If I try to manually add it, it asks for the manufacturers disk - I
have the drivers, "PRO98MEM.EXE", from the Intel website, but that
installs three files:

        net5599x.inf
        net55a9x.inf
        net8254x.inf

and Windows' "Add Hardware" wizard only seems to want one of them.

If I select one, it them tells me that the device is "plug and play, and
that I should switch off my machine, attach the adapter, and restart my
machine.

Any ideas?
