I haven't had any problems with 3com cards and WBEL ... how old is old?
If they are PCI cards, it shouldn't be an ehternet card issue. Getting
ISA cards to work, on the other hand, can be hard with any Linux distro.
I personally use NetGear FA-310 and FA-311 cards (I still have several
dozen on the shelf) ... they are cheap and work well for me. (looks
like they no longer make the FA-310).
