Please remember to bottom post.  Makes it easier for folks to help.

Run the following command

    lspci |grep Ethernet

It should give you something like:

froller at metis:~$ lspci |grep Ethernet
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Ethernet (rev a2)

Seems simple but did you search for any driver issues specific to your 
3com model?
