Someone else was reporting _THAT_ 3COM NIC not being supported ( you, someone else...can't remember??) I would suggest getting a different NIC, one that IS supported. I have a similar setup here, cable modem, dual NIC...altho both are older 3COM's (3C509B and 3C503) I did have a little trouble getting both working...but now both DO work. My method (as per the HOWTO's) was to install the ISA (PnP 3C509B first) then the ISA ( 3C503 jumpered to diff. settings second). Unless you really need THAT NIC they (NIC's) are fairly cheap to purchase another, and save that one till Linux DOES support it, or you decide to build a M$ workstation.
