You could use USB, but then your project would be about getting USB going rather than what you really want to send between the card and your PC.

There are expansion cards available that have Etherenet. They are expensive.

If you are happy with RS232 speeds, you can get a 3.3 volt compatible RS232 to USB converter cable like this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9873 or similar.
