Network pcmcia IRQ problem on a laptop

I have a compaq presario 1277, and a IBM etherjet pcmcia 32 bit network card. This card works find under windows xp.

When i install windows 98 (for faster speeds, the laptop is a lil slow in XP) i install drivers for the PCMCIA card and then reboot.

In device manager it says

"This device is disabled because the BIOS for the device did not give it an IRQ (interrupt request). (Code 29)

You must enable the device in the BIOS. See your hardware documentation for details, or contact your computer manufacturer to get an updated BIOS"

I've looked in the Laptop bios and there isn't anything to do with PCMCIA.

Is this meaning that there is a bios chip in the PC card? If so how do i access it?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,
Bryson
 
Ok i have a newer driver, and now the IBM utility with it is detecting it. The only problem now is that it doesn't have an IRQ, does anyone know how to give an IRQ to something?
 
In Win98, IRQs can be assigned in Device Manager, Properties, Resources.
