I don't know if this will help you or not, but I've got a 3Com PCMCIA
card -- lspci calls it 3CCFEM656. I use the "Vortex" driver; the
module is "3c59x". I'm also using kernel 2.4.17. (there are several
different model numbers that are identical as far as linux is
concerned, though win2k can't handle it)
