Default T20 w/3Com Mini-PCI combo freezes XP

I have a Thinkpad T20 which is working nice with a memory and hard
drive upgrade, running WinXP SP2. I just added a 3Com Mini-PCI combo
ethernet/modem card. Strangely, WinXP now freezes during loading but
only on warm reboots -- never a problem on hard starts. I verified
the card is the culprit by removing it and confirming no problem.
Also, the card is otherwise working perfectly. Things I've tried so
far: older, newer 3Com drivers, changing PM and wake-on-LAN
settings, changing PCI configuration in BIOS. I don't think it's
SP2, because I reinstalled a fresh version of XP, starting with the
original version of XP (no service packs) and it happened also,
before I added SP2. Also happens when warm rebooting in safe mode.
Again, there's never a problem during a cold start. Any ideas would
be appreciated.

Thanks
