I've *NEVER* had a report of 3com wavelan cards working with the wi
driver, although they have a PRISM II chipset.
PCI has nothing to do with that. :-)
Also, for PCI to work, (the BIOS *MUST* route an interrupt or the routing
BIOS must be able to do it) and you can't, on some motherboards, put
the card behind a bridge, since the PCI interrupt bridge swizzle isn't
implemented on -stable.
