That smells to me like EEPROM media setting messing up the transceiver. 
You should try to set EEPROM default media to "Auto/NWAY" by:
- using "vortex-diag -F Autonegotiation -w" (using vortex-diag >= 2.13)
or
- using the 3Com DOS-based tool 3c90xcfg.exe that you should find on the 
drivers floppy/CD or on the 3Com website
