Under the network drivers listbox 3 com isnt even lited as a network card

There are some listed under broadcom but thats about it.

Re: RC1 Missing 3 com network drivers ?

3COM end-of-lifed the networking card family that was supported in XP and
Windows 2003. This is the reason why no drivers are available in Vista. The
XP drivers for these devices should work without problems on Windows Vista.
