I can't comment in general,  but on what I use here:  I have several 3Com
3C509 cards in all of my machines,  and they seem to do the job just fine. 
You'll need to boot a dos floppy and configure the card with their utility
_first_,  though,  before you try and install the software,  or it won't see
it properly...
