I have not yet played with these ethernet boards (I am expecting
my 3com in the mail any day now), but I think I know what
you guys want to do:

edit your \thinkpad\autodrv.ini file.  In the ethernet section
(just look for the line CardID=ETHER), there is a line
right after the CardID=ETHER that reads:
  Option=Ignore

This essentially tells ezplay to ignore ethernet cards.  Change that
line to:
  ;Option=Ignore

Placing the semi-colon in the first column turns that line into
a comment.  Then, reboot your machine.  Now ezplay will try
to setup ethernet cards for you.

Please, please send a note to this email list telling folks
if the 3Com board works with ezplay or not.  I'm worried because
it is not listed in the pcmcia.crd file, but I do not know
if it is not there because it does not work with ezplay or because
it is to new.

FYI: I am currently using a Kingston twisted-pair pcmcia board.  the
     kingston board does _not_ work properly with ezplay.
