The NIC card seems to be working fine, but I get nowheres. (The driver came up and gave me the right info). We need more info. Send us the lines mentioning your NIC on bootup. They are in /var/log/messages or you can use dmesg. Also you can check your routing setup with /sbin/route and /sbin/ifconfig. Give us these lines as well. The setup of these values are done in /etc/init.d/network Also did you try to reach a host using a IP address or using a DNA name? There could be a issue with your /etc/resolv.conf Maybe with this info you can solve the problem for yourself, else refer back to use with the output of the commands. Something else: I thought there is no support for the 100 Mbit 3com NICs in 2.0.x kernels prior to 2.0.32. Maybe the debian package of the kernel has the patch built in?

Works flawlessly without any configuring. If I mis-understood your setup, then you probably need to send more information (someone already asked you for this).
