Yup. Download the DOS-drivers from support.3com.com. Boot from a dos-disk,
and start the 3c59x.exe you'll find along with the DOS-drivers.

Reset all three cards to default PnP-settings, no forced speeds, no forced
duplex settings. Remove all options from your insmod-command, and retry.

That will probably fix things. Somebody programmed the cards to do only
10Mbit half duplex.
