I thought I would try another 3Com 589 card just in case I had a bad one
(they are pretty cheap used), but it is exactly the same problem:

Under Win 2000 it works perfectly.
Under OS/2, the card director says "Ready" but cannot ping or access
internet.

I put my LinkSys back in, bent dongle and all, and it works perfectly.

The only difference I notice is that Linksys boots up on IRQ 9, and 3Com
boots up on IRQ 11.

At this point I think I may be better off putting my money in a new dongle
and donating the two 3Com cards to the next SCOUG raffle next time I come
up.
