I know it's not very linux-y, but for this sort of thing, I do tend to fall 
back to 3Com's dos or windows diagnostic disks.  You should be able to 
create a dos bootable disk and put the 3Com daignostic/setup disk on it 
(from www.3com.com).  Boot from this disk and set the card.

Of course, as I said, not very linux-y, but it works!
