Chris,

I use the 3com 3c905B-TX, and it works fine. Use the 3c59x driver/module
...for a list of cards and drivers, check out:

Anything that's listed here will work on any "standard" distribution, like
RedHat. I happen to use Debian, but it's not an issue. These are standard
kernel modules.

Good luck!
