3c501? That's a 3Com card. I'll admit all my gear is 5+ years old and
I've fallen a bit behind the tech cutting edge, but I don't recall pc
mobos having integrated 3com NICs. Aren't they generally Intel or
Broadcom chipsets? Is it possible you're  running up the wrong driver?
Or am I just out of the loop 'cuz I still use a PII 350 and run RH 7.2?
