Is your network actually connected through the 10baseT port on the
card? 

With 3c509 cards I have often had to start up a 3com config program
and set them "by hand" to BNC instead of "auto-detect" (and I switch
off Plug and Play while I am at it). I have always used the DOS
3com509 config program that comes with the cards (probably available
from the 3com web site too), but I have a vague memory of somebody
mentioning a Linux tool to do the job.

Hope this helps.
