I have the PCI ethernet going on my X20, /proc/pci says:

  Bus  0, device  10, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556B Laptop Hurricane (rev 32).
  ...

which matches your subject line.   I have:

CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_3COM=y
CONFIG_VORTEX=y

Not that I can see support for the 3c556B in the CONFIG_VORTEX help.

You can find the full .config on http://www.tonyRobinson.com/config-2.4.0, 
and http://www.tonyRobinson.com/x20.html may also be useful.
