I hate their site.  You can't just pick a machine.  Choose business
size, PC or workstation, shoe size....  Anyway, I couldn't find a
Precision 410, but for the Precision 420, it lists:

Integrated Network Interface - 3Com®  3C920 Fast EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI
with Wakeup on LAN

Maybe it's the same?
