This does not seem to be an RTLinux problem, but only a linux kernel configuration problem. > I initilly had not chosed 3COM support while doing the make > menuconfig...but I re-did the whole make menuconfig and the following > steps by selecting 3COM support.

You will never see the network card under /dev, because network devices are exceptionally not handled via device files by linux. This is due the history of linux and probably also a performace issue. To get the network card running I would first try 'lspci' to scan the PCI bus for devices (look for your ethernet controller). Then do the make menuconfig again, but select all network cards you want as module. Recompile your kernel and restart the system. After reboot you can easily insert the module by calling 'insmod /lib/modules/kernel-version/drivers/net/....' or something. If you now run 'insmod eth0' and you get an output it has works, otherwise try 'dmesg' in order to get the error messages of the kernel module. If it works you can afterwards compile the right module into the kernel. I hope it works!
