Look, each distro is going to load modules differently - and possibly
assign IRQ's and IO addresses differently - what you might try to do is
to change the options for loading the 3com modules in the
/etc/modules.conf file - you should be able to read the info on that
module under the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory - even if it means
reading the header code (.c and .h) for the options...

The 3com card are quite standard as you can well imagine, so it's got to
be something silly and simple.

You might want to either disable PNP OS in your BIOS or try changing the
options for loading the module. It HAS to work...they're flawless
cards...even moving it into a different slot might have a better effect,
but that's more work and editing a text file...
