Turn off pnp in your bios. That'll help a lot. You may also
want to get a better nic, as the 3Com have been known to be
tricky to install. I personally recommend dec-tulip based
cards or Intel ether-express based cards. Both are fairly
easy to install. The trick with the tulip-based cards is
that there are two different drivers, but I *think* I read
that they'd been combined into one driver now, which
supports either of the two chipsets.
