Although I would of prefered the 3COM 10/100 cardbus BNC/RJ45 network card
I received the cheap and cheerful Xircom 10/100 card which works
flawlessly.  I have had not one problem with my card and it seems to
perform well (considering I paid 30 pounds for it).  I use it everyday at
either 100 or 10 speed and can't say anything bad about the card, for its
price.  

I would still would take the 3COM card though :)
