Hi,
    I have tried and read but I can't get this PCI 3Com card to work !!

I have read the http://www.scyld.com/expert/irq-conflict.html

and confirmed that the BIOS PnP OS is Disabled

Any other things I could try :>>

Index #1: Found a 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx adapter at 0x5800.
This chip has not been assigned a valid IRQ, and will not function.
 This must be fixed in the PCI BIOS setup.  The device driver has no way
 of changing the PCI IRQ settings.
 See  http://www.scyld.com/expert/irq-conflict.html  for more information.
 Use '-a' or '-aa' to show device registers,
     '-e' to show EEPROM contents, -ee for parsed contents,
  or '-m' or '-mm' to show MII management registers.
