I'm not sure what drivers these cards use but I've had problems with the 900 series before. A friend is running 2 905b's in his router and it constantly locks up. I've had experiences with multiple 905 b's and c's where they will work fine for a while then suddenly not so well - and the collision indicating led flickers repeatedly. If I take them off the network and plug them into a hub (with no other computers or hubs attached) the led keeps flickering.... so I'm not a huge fan of 3com cards.... just my 2c (canadian, so it really isn't worth much)
