0.99L is almost 2 years old. The problem with your system is that the card
is of 905CX (notice the X) type which has some small differences w.r.t.
905C type and which was introduced in production late last year.
It's a 3Com specific problem, but it seems like Dell is using these new
cards in their computers.
