Normally that is supplied from the EEPROM (we think). Try setting the NIC up with 3com's DOS-based setup program ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3c90x/3c90xx2.exe and also check your BIOS power management settings, PnP OS settings, etc. Try to work out why the EEPROM hasn't been powered up - could be a dead card (test it under Windows) or a BIOS thing. -
