Just thought I'd post this in case others have the same problem. I got
my network working finally by installing the vanilla sources. I didn't
have to edit or do anything else once the vanilla-sources where compiled
and installed. For some reason the gentoo-sources would not work with
this card
I use it with no problems at all.
Two things:
1) Post the /var/log/messages excerpt. Maybe there is something useful
there.
2) I had the similar problem with another card (not 3COM). I solved it by
disabling the APIC support at the kernel.

Where is APIC in the kernel? I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Thanks,

Disabling APIC doesn't work either.
The only error messages in the log are:
[dhcpcd] timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response
[rc-scripts] failed to bring eth0 up
That's all I get. Any other ideas?

You need to disable both apic and io-apic.However, if it doesn't solve
the problem, compile it back in, this option is really neat

Well, I compiled the kernel like you said by grabbing the /proc/config
settings while booting from the CD. I compiled that kernel, but the
network still fails to start. :-( Next I am removing anything that I
believe is not required to boot, and see if that works. If not, then I
don't see any
After compiling a bare minimum kernel the 3c59x module will not load.
When I do a modprobe 3c59x I get this error.
unresolved symbol _mmx_memcpy
I have no idea what that means. Anyone have any ideas?

Set CONFIG_MODVERSIONS to 'no'
If it helps, be sure to rm -rf /lib/modules/linux-2.4.20 before you do
make modules_install and recheck.
