Currently all my NICs running under Linux are 3Com 3C905B-TX 10/100s.
The only issue that I've had with these NICs is that on newer
motherboards, I have to set "PnP OS" to No in BIOS and then cold boot
the machine to set the NIC resources.

On the modem, I use an internal 3Com/USR Sportster without problems,
all my others are external. Just make sure you don't buy a winmodem, and
get a jumperable modem if possible.

HTH!
