You should still be able to manually install your 3Com card. Check your manual that came with your OS and look for the <b>modprobe</b> command for your particular adapter. This will probably be something like <b>modprobe 3c90x.o</b> assuming your 3Com card is a 90x model. You might want to try the tulip.o module first since it is generic and most NIC's will be able to use it without a problem. You can get a list of NIC modules in <b>/lib/modules/2.2.19/net</b> or something similar; the 2.2.19 is my kernel so yours might differ, but there is usually only one subdirectory in <b>/lib/modules</b>. If you don't have a manual you should propbably search Caldera's site for more info.
Once you get your NIC up Cable modem is much more straight forward to set up then DCL from my experience.

NAME
discover-modprobe.conf -- configuration file for discover-modprobe(5)
Description
discover-modprobe.conf is the configuration file for discover-modprobe, which is responsible for retrieving and loading kernel modules.
Warning:
This file is a shell script, and as such is subject to a string variable assignment syntax. No space is allowed between the variable
name, the equal (=) sign, and the value(s) assigned. If multiple values are to be assigned, the list must be space-delimited with
surrounding quotes.
Two directives can be used in this file: types and skip. Both can be defined multiple times.
types This describes the classes of hardware that should be scanned and queried.
skip These modules should never be loaded. See the ``Files'' section for details on the mechanism for generating these entries auto-
matically.
Files
/var/lib/discover/crash
A crash file written and erased each time discover-modprobe attempts to load a module. If the file lingers, the computer is
assumed to have crashed while loading that module, and the module name is added to discover-modprobe.conf as a module to skip in
the future.
