Some PCI NICs may be troublesome, but you can count on most
older 3Com's or Intel. Personally, I have several 3Com cards,
and a few LinkSys that are NE2000 clones, and none of them have
failed to work with any Linux. I'd check out the source of your
rumor.
Sounds like crap to me!

A friend of mine in Va. recently found out that he can get this
service too! We discussed it at some length, and as near as I
could tell the ADSL equipment provides a UTP ethernet port to
which you connect it to your NIC.
Sounds pretty much straight up to me.
