You can transmit, but you can't receive: that sounds like an interrupt not
working/getting detected by the kernel. Maybe something on the board is
eating the interrupt, or it is somehow disabled by the bios.
Did everything work with the 3Com drivers floppy?
I don't know how to fix it, but this may get you a little further.
