I suggest you read this sticky first.
I doubt if the 3Com is your wireless. Ethernet means usually wired connection.
For faster respons you better mark this thread as solved and open a new thread in the wireless section.Charles

It doesn't appear you've done "lspci" with the card inserted. If it's one of the old Orinoco "Gold" cards, it is one of the most well supported wireless cards under Linux and the drivers should already be present. Insert the card and redo lspci and post here please so we can see if that's what it is.

Thank you for the reply DapperDan. I inserted my Orinoco Gold card and ran lspci again. I have the same output as the log I posted in my second reply. I notice that the 2 lights on the card are not functioning. Is there something else I need to do? You mentioned the drivers should already be present. Does Linux work like Microsoft's Plug N Play? (Sorry but I am from a Windows world) Or do I have to use Syn Package Manager to install the drivers?
Any help is appreciated.
