Well, Sean, my moldy old 3Comm cards don't require one to pound their heads against a brick wall for half a day, and as I said I do believe their PCI cards are autodetected.
The Tulip chipset cards are good.
The main argument most folks have against 3Comm cards is that they charge too much for them. Which they do. But they work, as several others besides me have pointed out. My NICs will probably outlive me.
And they're supported by Linux officially, so they're on that precious list you mention.
