Well, You can look for Excelan cards for Ethernet.
They have EXOS 205T and EXOS 205E, the differnce between them is
just the thin and thick Ethernet transceivers.
In fact, Excelan provided a well documented s/w support for these
cards for XENIX 386. But, their programming interface is BSD 4.3
socket look-alike with a few noticable differences.
Though, I have not worked extensively with the programming aspect
of Excelan Ethernet, I found the cards easy to install and diagnose.
The software installation on XENIX is also pretty good.
About the portability of the code, I am not sure
