VA-503+ won't recognize D-Link network card

I had exact same problem with Asus P4B-F (Pentium-II slot 1 MB) and G510
wireless card. The MB BIOS PnP would not detect card no matter which PCI
slot I used. The card worked fine in other computer. The box says requires
32 bit PCI slot. I thought they were all 32 bit. I have never seen anything
like it.

98SE (D-Link says 98SE, 2000, and XP are supported), but the card
works fine with 98 in an Intel 810i mobo and even a 75 MHz SiS mobo
(that one's so old that it has tail fins).

That's wierd because that card worked fine in my Soyo 6BB v. 1.0,
based on the same Intel 440BX chipset.

The wierdest incompatibility I ever experienced was with a VIA-based
USB 2.0 USB card that caused my VIA-based VA-503+ (made by FIC, owned
by the same parent company as VIA) to act dead. I thought that it was
caused by the card's use of 2.5V instead of the usual 3.3V (advertised
as 3.3V tolerant), but it worked fine in an older VIA-based mobo and
even an SiS mobo so old that it had no DIMM or USB support (the G510
wireless card was fine in it).<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

you have to disable the onboard USB before using a separate USB
controller card. as for the PCI card, dont let windows look for it, but
rather manually install it, did you try that ? make sure you got the
part number exactly right and you have the exact driver. I feel for you,
sometimes it can be a btch ~<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
