Hi,

00:03.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556B Hurricane CardBus (rev 20)

Googling for your Ethernet controller ("3Com Corporation 3c556B linux") one of the first results is:
http://www.svenstedt.se/linux/T22.html
ACPI
There is a major problem with ACPI enabled in the kernel. The ethernet 
controller shuts down when booting and there is no way to enabled it again but 
to disable ACPI. This is a known bug. ACPI also disables the possibility to use 
suspend mode.

So my suggestion is:
a) try to disable acpi on boot
b) try to install a 2.6 kernel (if you have the default 2.4 kernel). Maybe the issue is resolved in 2.6.

On another website

a similar netcard is reported working on a debian woody system.
