They are. "modprobe 3c59x" will take care of any 3Com 59* card as well as most 3Com 90* cards. If this is an old ISA 3Com509, 3Com515, or (shudder) the ancient, broken 3Com501, well, ISA Plug-n-Pray never really worked right at all. Post the model number of your 3Com card, also include the output of "lspci -vv | grep -A6 Ether" if this is a PCI card.
