William,
If they ping themselves that just means the loopback (i.e. 127.0.0.1) is
working. It does not touch the hardware layer and routes it a couple of
layers up in the TCP/IP stack.
How does the output look as it comes up. Are you getting the famous
code written by NASA for the 3com's? What does the log say? If you do
a "ifconfig -a" what does it say? Is everything configured (IP
addresses, Netmask, etc.)?
It sounds like Linux is not seeing the cards to me.
Good Luck,
Eldon
