From both personal and professional experience I've deduced the following:
3Com unfortunately make very poor network card (but they make good hubs!).
Intel make great network cards, especially the EtherExpress Pro's.

I would always recommend Intel cards - they've yet to fail me on anything.
High praise? Well deserved.

*Disclaimer: The above does not mean that I personally endorse Intel network cards. They
work very well for me but that deoesn't mean they will diffinetely work well for you! :)
