Here's my $0.02 ---
ISA - If you can find it, get your hands on a 3Com 3C509B, download the
config disks, and set all the parameters by hand. Do not use Plug And Pray
on those cards...
PCI - Any other 3Com card, and again, get the config disks.
PCMCIA - 3Com 3C589

Never had a problem with any 3Com card. Unless, of course, I left it in
PnPray mode...
