Yellow "!" On PCMCIA Network Adapter

When using a PCMCIA network adapter under Win98 you might not be able to connect the computer to the network, and under System Properties there is a yellow ! next to the card.

Open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VCOMM
Doubleclick on "EnablePowerManagement" If the value is '0000 01 00 00 00' change it to '0000 00 00 00 00' (Full Version). If the value is '0x00000001 (1)' change it to '0x00000000 (0)' (Upgrade)

Close & Restart Windows
