Well, the hardware behind 3com's marketing names changes occasionally,
so you'd better tell the numeric ID...

If it is something with 3C990 or 3CR990, there is some hope:
This card is supported in NetBSD-current, and I can send you a
backport to 1.6.x.
Unfortunately, the crypto acceleration functions of that card
are not supported by the driver, so this card is generally a
waste of money...

(I'll be unreachable from tomorrow night til March 22nd.)
