Yup, I am using several 3Com 905x cards here..
What I had to do on a couple of them was download the 3Com DOS drivers
and install on another hdd  (you may have a DOS or win partition saving you
this step) and (a) turn off the Plug 'n' Pray, (b) set the card's IRQ.
I then put it banc in the Linux box and BINGO, it was found and I was able
to go on from there to get it set up and working.
