# lspci | grep 3Com
02:08.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3Com 3C920B-EMB-WNM
Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 40)

Works for me.

If you have the card plugged into a gateway that supplies the card with an
address using dhcp, and the assignment fails, then your card will appear
not to work.
The solution is to power cycle the gateway, wait until the gateway
finishes booting, then plug in the network cable to the PC, wait for the
light, and do a service network restart.
