I´ve noticed that some of the most recent 100Mbit cards I've been buying (Genius low end cards, model GF100TXR4) have only four connection points on the RJ45 slot. However, the cards *do* work at 100Mbits. Anybody with the technical knowledge on the subject could please explain that? Why do 3Coms have all 8 leads, while low-end use only 4? how does it affect the quality of connection? Are all 8 leads really used?
