I perfer intelpro100 one & realtek one rather than 3Com. 3com seems to
be not interested with linux. Moreover 3com' 3c905 and 3c905b has got
the problem during intallation. Moreover, in the kernel source code,
network card options part, intel nic is a default settings. Hence,
I've intel is a better choice. Of course, at last, it depends your
preferenc.
