Not personally, but I have some 3com ISA cards I could try...

Apparently though, this kudzu issue does indeed affect more then just the
particular 3com card I mentioned:

I don't believe this is a kernel bug, I believe it's directly related to
kudzu auto-configuration.  This card worked just fine on my old RH
9/K12LTSP
3.1.2 install.  When I moved to Fedora it broke...
