I've seen a lot of problems with the Xircom cards in general, and their
RealPort model in particular. But that was over a year ago, and they
may well have cleaned things up by now.
Personally I don't think you can go wrong with a NetGear. They're
cheap and reliable, and they ship with Linux drivers. Additionally,
their tech support people know Linux :)
I think 3Com is over priced, and they no longer have the quality to
warrant that price. I'm skeptical of Xircom from past experience.
That's my $.000000000001 :)
