It's plugged into a 100 meg port into a hub. I've also tried plugging
it directly into the Motorola SURFboard(r) Cable Modem SB4200, but it
doesn't help.

Well there you go.
This has all the earmarkings of the Classic 3com dribble connection. 3com has a horrible reputation for failure to auto-negotiate speed and duplex settings with upstream devices.
Is this plugged into a 10 meg port or a 100 meg port on the upstream device?
Can you try a different upstream device, as a test. Or put something between this machine and what ever is upstream. such as a hub or switch to test if that works?
There is a way to tell the nic ahead of time what rate to select, but I forget the details.
My normal response upon being given ANY problem by a 3com nic is to listen for the Plonk sound it makes when it hits the bottom of the trash can.
Nics are under $10 these days and unless you are 50 miles from the nearest replacement I wouldn't waste any more time with it.
