You just needed to look a little harder! AIX 1.2 DOES have a driver for
the 3-com card, its just that it's not in the kernel as shipped, its in
what's called the 'nifl' library. Look in the subdirectory /usr/nifl and
you will find another directory 3com, I believe everything you need is
there including instructions for installing it. Good luck.
