Default Iggy, Unbuntu and network card?

Quick question, do you have your EMC computer networked, and if so,
via wire or wireless? What card are you using? I looked up the Linksys
card in mine and it's not well supported. Looking for compatible
cards, I see a whole host of issues, including lack of WEP support in
some.
I therefore assume there's other cards that will also have issues with
security. I could run a cable, I think I have one long enough. But
will have to research and see if the 3Com cards I have are compatible...

The Dell should have an on-mobo wired ethernet port. I use only wired
ethernet for a variety of reasons:
mostly security and reliability in a high-noise environment (we have
nearby cell towers, and of course, CNC machines).
I think all 3com cards and chips will be supported.
