Hi, I do not understand this, because all of my Debian-i386-CD's
from Slink to WOODY support the 3Com NIC... exept the compact image.

I think, you must install the first base from thr 26 floppy-disks...
Or if you can, download the drivers.tgz and base3_0.tar to your
harddisk, make the rescue and the root Floppy and install your stuff.
After this, install the kernel-source-2-4-19 and its depencies and
make your own Kernel.
Please note, that the 26 Floppys for the Base support the 3Com NIC !!!
