THis problem was the subject of heated discussion a few weeks ago.
Did you buy the OS extensions LPP?  It's a miscellaneous collection
of stuff (man pages and so forth).  Buried inside that lpp are the
tools necessary to install the driver for your 3com board.  (They will
be in a directory called /usr/nifl/3com.)

Unfortunately, neither the TCP/IP manual nor the NFS manual say one
word about it.
