the GENERIC kernel used for installation should have ep* support i
think...

I don't think it can be modified with ifconfig...

try boot -c, then you should be able to modify the iobase, irq and
stuff of the ep0 device

there's a 3com config program for dos available on the 3com site, so
you can change the eeprom settings using a dos boot floppy. if you set
the iobase to 0x200 and the irq to 10 here, the kernel should
autodetect it since these are the defauts
