I'm guessing that one of a few things is happening:
1) your 3com card isn't functioning properly
2) there is no card at 0x300 (and you'll need to get the correct
address and rebuild your kernel)
3) your card still has pnp enabled (I don't recall if 2.2.7 is hip
to pnp NICs).
Here's what I'd suggest to fix it:
1) boot into DOS/your Win32 OS. If you card is working under
Win32, grab (write down) the relevent configuration
information. Reboot into FreeBSD and rebuild your kernel with
the correct settings for your card.
2) boot into DOS/your Win32 OS. Check your card's information with
the 3com utilities -- make sure that pnp is disabled and write
down the card's information. Reboot into FreeBSD and build a
new kernel.
