Romano -

That looks like the product info for one of the 3Com cards that has a
file in the cis database to go into either /lib/firmware
or /etc/firmware.  I would try copying the file and changing the name.
The only issue is whether Ubuntu is using /lib or /etc as the place to
put the firmware "cis override" (as the howto calls it) directory.  I
found an empty directory in FC5 in /lib.  Take a look and see if Ubuntu
also creates an empty directory in either place.
