I would connect fine, but I was getting under 0.02k/second. when downloading. My problem ended up being that my 3com card was NOT set for IRQ 10 (the default) yet somehow it was detected and worked, just not very reliably. Once I had discovered this, I realized that I had no other devices on IRQ 10, and changed the card back to work on IRQ 10. If you have a conflict of some kind on IRQ 10 it may be the cause of your problem, or your card may not be set up on IRQ 10 at all. If you have a conflict you can change the kernel to use a different IRQ for that card, I believe it's '-v' at the boot prompt for the install floppy. I hope this information is of use to you.
