This card sucks *big* rocks through straws. The only way to make it go
anywhere is gravity. The word around the campfire (and the impression
one gets from their web site) is that 3Com won't even admit to its
existence. IIRC from my Slackware days, the Linux docs say that you
should never use this card even if you have no other option.

I have several of these (3c509 and 3c509B) and they work just fine.
