How to kill phantom PCI card?

Win2K keeps on finding new hardware when I start/restart my machine. I have no clue what it's looking for. In Device Manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to:

Other devices
>PCI device


The only cards in my machine are video (which is AGP anyway), & my Adaptec 39160 SCSI adapter. I did not use the native 2K drivers for the 39160 (if there is any), but the Adaptec drivers on floppy instead.

I plugged in my NIC & it gets detected and shown in Device Manager as well, but the damn "Found New Hardware" wizard & "Unknown device" thingy still persists.

Other than disabling this phantom device, how else can I stop this?
