Many things can go wrong with this card. Check at least the following:
1. Disable PnP OS in BIOS, if you have it enabled.
2. Check the IRQ and IO settings: one good place to look is /proc. See the config in BIOS as well.
3. Check /var/log/messages after boot up.
4. Do dmesg | grep eth to see what's going on here
5. Check lspci -vv
6. Manually do ifconfig
7. Do you have an alias in modules.conf?

I have a 3Com Etherlink III 3c5905TP which is causing a lot of
headaches.
I have re-installed RH Linux 7.1
During its original installation this card worked fine.
On the new install, the card isn't recognized by the install program.
I booted up in plain DOS and used 3Com's auto configure routine.
I tested the card and it passed all the tests.
Using the auto config the card was set to IO address 300h
The IRQ was set to 10
I ran linuxconf to configure the card.
I set it's IP address
And set the IO address to 300 and IRQ to 10
I set the kernel module to 3c509 from the drop down box.
Saved the configuration and did a /etc/rc3.d/S10network reload
The card failed.
On boot eth0 fails with an insmod bad parameter.
Does anyone have a clue about what is failing? How do I find out what
parameter is bad.
