Begging to differ(and go off-topic a little)...Xerox developed the standards. Ethernet was developed by XEROX/PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), as part of the ALDO project. One of the developers was Bob Metcalfe, who later left to found 3Com. Google "xerox invented ethernet" to verify.
That being said, I do agree that 3Com definitely makes some of the best ethernet controllers I've worked with.
