Some of the 3 Com cards are not supported in the default kernel of systemimager.
I faced the same problems with some of the Tyan mobo with built in 3Com
nic.
You can either build  your own kernel or download one from the following
site

http://www.dannf.org/testing/

If it still fails, then additionally you have to put a floppy drive with
local.cfg file on it!! it will get get the IP address , gateway info ...
from the local.cfg .

You can give either Dynamic or static IP addresses.

Hope this helps
