However, unlike later versions of Windows, hardware support under Win 3.11 was actually provided by MS-DOS, so you should look for cards that work under MS-DOS. I am confused by your description of your computer as an "AT with a PCI slot". Are you certain that it is a PCI slot and not an ISA slot? The ISA interface dates back to the original IBM PC, whereas the PCI slot was introduced in 1992. Most motherboards provided a mix of ISA and PCI slots up until a few years ago. More importantly, there were a great number of ISA network cards produced, and I would expect that one of those would work quite well for you.
