Issue with a ethernet card

Installed a replacement 3com pci card on an ibm PC 300 GL, running OpenServer 6.0 , brought up system, and recieved this message:

Fsstat:/dev/boot mounted
Mounted /stand filesystem
System auditing is not enabled.
Dlpid:Unable to open network adapter driver (/dev/mdi/r8e0)
Dlpid:No such file or directory
/etc/slink:Function "Cenetb" command 3:dlbind: protocol error 16
Ifconfig:ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS) : no such interface.

I'm thinking that it is a problem with the card...any other suggestions?
