There is a problem with 3Com NICs that shows up in older buildings with ground loop problems. They work poorly, if at all. They have very high rates of failure.
I agree that 3Com cards are excellent in stable electical environments, but ........ in adverse conditions I would now go with Intel Pro 100 series NICs every time.
