SYMPTOMS
If you have an Adaptec ANA-6911A/TX network adapter, the Windows 98 hardware detection process may incorrectly identify it as a PCI Fast Ethernet DEC 21143-based adapter.

This behavior can occur if the network adapter responds during the hardware detection process with an identification code that matches the PCI Fast Ethernet DEC 21143-based adapter.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, remove the PCI Fast Ethernet DEC 21143-based adapter, and then use the Adaptec installation software included with the network adapter to install the correct network adapter drivers.

To remove the PCI Fast Ethernet DEC 21143-based adapter, follow these steps:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Network.
 * 3) On the Configuration tab, click PCI Fast Ethernet DEC 21143 Based Adapter, and then click Remove.
 * 4) Click OK.
