Presumably these are ISA cards?  Not even PnP?

If you don't have the software to manage the cards, download it
from the 3COM.COM site.  You'll need to adjust the card settings
to be distinct for each card.  Compare the options in the configuration
software with what the kernel config can provide (almost anything,
really, the 3COM cards are quite sensible in that they can be
queried for the configuration settings).
