ne2000 drivers?  But it's a 3com!  What's the model number?  For the 905, go
'modprobe 3c90x' and for the 595, 'modprobe 3c59x'.  I think just about every
3com is supported, and part of [most?] every distrobution.

I'd try the mirrors, or search for it at google.  I actually just had to find
info on this card the other day for my office machine, but it turns out (by
reading the comments in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules) that the 905B is supported by the
90x driver.
