Let me see if I understand this -- the "old" 3Com card works ONLY if some
other card -- you've tried both an NE2000 and a second, "new" 3Com -- is
also plugged into the motherboard?
This sounds a lot like one of the suggestions I made yesterday -- that the
network is set up to use interface eth1 instead of eth0. ANY second card
(well, not really any one, but it happens to work for the two you tried)
will push the "working" 3Com to eth1, but with no second card installed, it
naturally defaults to eth0.
Take a look at the output of "ifconfig -a" and see if that's what you have.
If you do, it should be fairly easy to fix.
