good luck:-)
Up to now, noone was able to get sufficient information out of 3com
to support TCP cksums completely, or crypto stuff.

I only have a 3cr990-fx, which is interesting because its media part
was not properly handled by the OpenBSD driver, but certainly not
a widely used card.
Anyway, since the diffs are probably large, but quite straightforward,
it should be sufficient to test with your and my card, and not post
them to a mailing list.

Looking at 3com's www site, it is not even obvious for me how much
of the "firewall" functionality is in the card and what's just
windows software.
