okay i'm afraid my results aren't very useful (at least to my eyes).

with both cards in (and /servers/socket/2 set up to use the 3Com), "ping
127.0.0.1" gave me:
        Kernel General protection trap, eip 0x17a3be
        kernel: General protection (13), code = 0
        Stopped at 0x17a3be:    testb   $0x40,0x283b68(,%eax,8)
and after taking out the 3Com and setting it up to use the Via Rhine, it didn't
give me any message at all -- "ping 127.0.0.1" just locked up the machine :(
