Indeed, that does match the pci id registry entries for the 3com
"Hurricane" found here:
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=10b76055

However, a perusal of various websites seems to indicate that this
particular hardware has poor support in general, 3com doesn't even
offer driver downloads for it anymore (at least, I couldn't find any).
There are a few users who have managed to get it working somehow with
the elxl driver included with Solaris 10. You can out what they did
here:
