Please check which driver is installed.
It depends on the used adapter type:
* 3C590 - EtherLink III PCI
* 3C595 - Fast EtherLink III 10/100 PCI (T4,TX variants)
* 3C597 - Fast EtherLink III 10/100 EISA

You should boot from a DOS floppy and run 3C59XCFG.EXE from the "3Com
Etherdisk" <ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3c59x/3c59xn.exe>.
Here you can do settings and check connectivity.

With 3C590 adapter type with no support for fast ethernet 10MB/FDX
should be usable.
