As far as the "Network Device Support" section goes:
[*] Network Device Support
...
[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
...
[*] 3COM cards
...
<*> 3c590/3c900 series...
That's all you need from that section to get a card in that series to
work.
Under BIOS, I have my PCI slot assigned to a particular IRQ.
# cat /proc/interrupts
...
9: 320 XT-PIC eth0
...
# cat /proc/ioports
...
e400-e47f : 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone]
e400-e47f : 00:0b.0
...
# cat /proc/pci
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev
48).
IRQ 9.
Master Capable. Latency=80. Min Gnt=10.Max Lat=10.
I/O at 0xe400 [0xe47f].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xed000000 [0xed00007f].
That's what's going on on my system on said NIC. You aren't sharing any
resources with some other hardware by some chance are you? Does
/var/log/messages or dmesg say anything useful?
