Yup, their the same animal. I had it backwards. I thought you were having
trouble getting the 10baseT to work and that it came up wanting the BNC. I
haven't tried the BNC to see if it works. But I could tomorrow. I imagine
from your experience I'll run into the same trouble.
I was just suprised it came up at all when I installed it without having
to run 3c5x9cfg.exe in the first place.
