Re: [Sheflug] Laptop Network Card

["Darrell Blake" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just had a thought actually. All the pcmcia cards I've found like that
only have RJ45 connectors on them. Would it be possible to connect my laptop
to my main pc using RJ45 (because I don't want a hub) and then still have
the rest of the network on BNC?
