OK, I've gone back into the 3com tool, configured 100BASE-TX and full-duplex, then re-booted. The card failed to link with the hub. No connection whatsoever. So either the card or the driver is taking the full-duplex eeprom setting as gospel. Also, it looks like the latest version of the 3com tool will not allow me to set the eeprom back to how I had it before.
