You may have to go to the website of the company that makes your laptop and
see if they have a driver for that card that works with your new Operating
System.

I just went to the HCL to see if I could bring it up by model, which I
could not, however I see a generic entry for the 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN
CardBus model [CardBus] . I would definantly check in device manager to
ensure the device is present and operating. If there is a problem with the
device you will see a black exclamation point in a yellow circle, if
disabled it will be a red "X". Windows Update site seems to have a generic
driver for this card, so you could try windows update and specify the
driver after the scan. If there are no errors in Device manager then I
would start looking at networking components, and requirements of your high
speed provider. You can also look in the C:\winnt directory for a file
called setupapi.log. In essence setupapi.log (provided it hasnt been
tampered with or deleted) is a history of devices and OS updates, you would
search (ctrl+f) the bottom of the text log (most recent events) for words
like "error" and then extract the meaning via websearches, newsgroups, or
MS support.
