if=Win98Boot.bin of=/dec/fd0 to create one. 

You'll have to extract the disk2 exe/zip and copy the some of the dos utils
your new bootable floppy. There should be a utility there for configuring
the cards. (sorry, don't remember what it is.) 

Reboot, boot from the floppy, run the config utility. If you have aa PNP
bios, set the cards to plug and pray mode. If you don't have a PNP bios, set
the irqs and stuff manually. (Try not to conflict with anything). Reboot to
Linux and you should have better luck. 

If you're running Debian, install the 3c5x9utils package and read the
documentation. I belive this package will allow you to do the same thing as
the tools on the 3com driver disk. If you don't have Debian,

Never used the Linux tools myself.
