Sorry I'm not a guru, but I can TRY to help you.
As the 'automagical' tools don't seem to work, you should try to configure your
card 'by hand' :
first, you have to load the apropriate driver of your card into the kernel.
As I never worked with 3com cards, I couldn't tell you wich one you have to
choose. But you will surely find some information in the documentations
provided with your card or in /usr/src/linux/Documentations/.
Once you know which driver you have to choose, you load it into the kernel by
simply typing 'modprobe name_of_the_driver'
Then, you have to configure its IP address and netmask.
To do this, type :
ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.4 to set the card's ip address to 1.2.3.4, and bring it up
ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 to set the net mask
Then, your card should work ok.
