I used the one that you included in BL2.  I have the 3.2 CD.
The SW71 net.i kernel worked fine with my PCI cards.

Turns out 300 is the correct address but I also needed irq=10.
I found the diagnostic programs for both ISA modems online, which also 
give me the IRQ.  The 3com one will tell me if the modem is working.  Is 
there some way to determine that for the winbond 906, which does ifconfig 
(give me the line with eth0 in it) but won't ping?
