The problem with the 3Com cards are that there are so many different models and configurations as well as drivers... I have one in my daughter's PC, and did use it once to trouble shoot a problem. I worked for a company that was deploying Debian and Solaris based platforms with 3Com cards. Not one of the worked OOB. Once we got them configured and tested, they worked fine.

Hi
I have found with some 3com cards, that I need to force the write to another, false, setup, and then force writing the correct setup, and then do a power-off deep boot, and only then I had life in those cards...
This usually happened after I booted to M$... M$ does some weird stuff to those cards, and resetting them to use 10-base-T (RJ-45 cable) did required the above....
