Oops; that should be the "3c59x" driver (I know; the numbering doesn't 
make sense).

And oops; there's no need to use modconf; you already have this module 
installed. So just make sure your cable is plugged into the 3com card's 
jack and not the onboard jack, then run "/etc/init.d/networking restart".
