Whoever you talked to wasn't very helpful. You must compile a 2.2.12 module.
Unless there are particular problems with the driver that is all ready
included with the kernel, you don't need to get the driver from 3com.
The driver you need appears to be under (after make menuconfig)
Network device support->Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)->< > 3c590/3c900 series.
If this doesn't make sense, search for previous posts on compiling the
kernel.
