   Somebody told me that to make my 3com card work in my config, that I
   need a "later" version of ifconfig.  

   Is it available somewhere or do I have to do the whole patch thingy?

This is not needed. Use "ifconfig ec0 llc0" or "ifconfig ec0 -llc0" to
set the "Link Level Control bit #0". The driver uses this bit to choose
the port. As well, in most cases you will want to ifconfig the driver
up/down as well.
