We use a 3com 3c905TX 10/100 Mbps PCI card, and it performs quite well, thanks to Donald Becker's wonderful drivers. I believe it uses the "3c590 Vortex" driver in the kernel. I had no problems installing Debian 1.2 on the machine straight out of the box. We've never had any errors or strange behavior.
On the other hand, I have heard of problems with the Intel cards. That may be due to many manufacturers bundling them with systems, and thus there are more of them out there .. I have no personal experience with them.
