Hah! You haven't checked the group archives for posts by, among others,
me, on difficulties getting cardbus devices to work on the 560X in
W95...
It is nearly impossible; the TI controller used in the 560X is extremely
finicky. There are several versions of the cardbus driver dlls, and
sometimes you have to backtrack to earlier ones for a particular card.
And then you discover that some NIC drivers want you to update to a
later version of the cardbus driver...
After days (weeks?) of effort I had things working somewhat with my 3M
card, but finally I couldn't take it anymore and upgraded the 560X to
98SE.
The 560X cardbus is handled effortlessly and transparently in 98SE, and
the "litepc" install of 98 was miles faster and better in every way
than 95 on the 560X.
