There are a number of vendors who sell ethernet interfaces for the PC
family.

3COM: the 3C500/3C501 (500 = 501 + software) "dumb" cards, and the 3C505
interface. The 3C505 is a smart card which can also use the 16 bit AT
bus, although it works on a normal PC bus too.

Interlan: the NI5010 card, pretty much equivalent to the 3COM
3C500/3C501 cards.

Ungermann-Bass: they also sell a dumb card and a smart card. I don't
know much about these.

Excelan: only a smart card, with TCP/IP for it. I believe that most of
the other smart cards come with no software by default.

Unfortunately, I don't have the addresses and phone numbers for these
vendors handy right now.
