Frank,
First of all make sure you have Farallon ENet and 3c589 packages installed.
When you insert the card you should either get nothing, or a card info slip.
As long as there's no error, you've got the drivers installed and the card is
recognized.
Sounds like all you need to do is create a new Internet Setup for the 3Com
card. Call it 'Wired LAN', connect via Ethernet and select your card from the
list, and have it use DHCP to automatically configure the rest of the network
settings. That should be all you need.
