wonderfull! i finally manage to have my card working (and also the sound
card!!!) . i've compiled as you suggest a custom kernel (i compile the
2.2.18, taken at kernel.org) with the driver for the mini pci 3com and also
for the Crystal sound card. now all works properly but... the eth0 and
probably the sound card (i did'n verify  ) doesn't resume after the
suspended time. i have also some error messages at the boot but i think
fixing them it takes not a lot of time.
