There are many different 3com cards..
First step... do an 'lspic' and send this to the group... we have to first make sure
the card is seen in the pci bus ( I'm assuming here that this IS a pci card).
I'd expect to see something like
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c900 Combo [Boomerang]
or
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3cSOHO100-TX Hurricane (rev 30)
or
02:0a.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] (rev
78)
If the card is seen, we need to check that you have a driver for it... are you running
a modular kernel? IF so, send us an ls of your nic drivers
ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/
That should be enough to get us started.. unless you want to throw in the boot
messages from /var/log/messages showing the probe of devices, etc..
