You will need the kernel sources to compile the driver.

- extract the driver archive
- cd 3com/3c2000   
- make             # compile the driver
- make install     # install the driver
- depmod -a        # update the module database
- modprobe 3c2000  # load the driver

On LKML were reports that gcc 3.* will fail to build the driver. Use
2.9* instead.
