William and Jim: It is indeed a 3com card. More specifically, 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 74).
Here's the output from my dual P3 box's lspci:

I'm running the same NIC you are.
I downloaded (via wget) the 4 FC3 ISO's from my FTP site several times just to force some Ethernet traffic and here's the ifconfig output:
[root@test51 ~]# ifconfig

Not perfect, but nearly so for 1.9Gig of traffic.
I intend to apply the latest patches via yum, but tell me if there is anything you want me to run on this virgin install before I do that.
