Download the 3Com-driver from Aminet. The cnet-driver will not work with a 3Com card.

You also have to find a suitable tcp/ip stack, otherwise there's nothing you can do with the card. OS 3.9 comes with such a stack (Genesis), but OS 3.1 doesn't have it as standard. I seem to remember there's a demoversion of AmiTCP on Aminet, but I'm not sure of that.

My 1200 with 68060/50 works very nice with OS 3.9 and a 3Com589. Surfing the web sucks (no RTG, just AGA), but other stuff like FTP, e-mail, chatting and usenet do work like a charm.
Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200
