I havn't used ISA 3com cards for a while, but there was a problem
when the ISA-PnP models: They were found twice - by the 3com specific
ISA method and the PnP method, with sometimes contradicting IRQ settings.
You might have a look at the kernel boot messages, and perhaps
disable the ISA-PnP stuff using the 3com diagnostics.
