Thats almost correct.  Since the Apple card is actually a 3Com card, the
3com card will also work.  As well, Assante makes ethernet cards that are
Apple/3Com compatable.  I have used the 3Com and the Assante 10 base T cards
with AUX 2.0 successfully.  

The Assante 10 base 2 (I dunno 'bout the others) will operate in 32 or 24
bit mode under MacOS.  I assume that it operates in 24 bit mode under AUX
as does the Apple/3Com card.

Strangly, the Assante 10 base T card did not work with the Apple router
last time I tried.
