  I've got a 486 with three NICs in it, one 3Com, one NE2000 and an NE2000
clone (or at least it appears as an NE2000 to the system). When I added the
third card, I had a problem with the 3Com, but that was because I had it
jumpered for MEM access. Once I jumpered it for IO access it started
working.

  All under Linux 2.0 mind you 8-)
