[lug] NIC Question

[Nate Duehr]

p.s. My favorite cross-over cable I own is a bright pink one that no one
seems to ever steal from my laptop bag... heh... no one seems to want to be
caught dead using a little pink cable, so color can be an effective
deterrent to someone swiping your test cables you carry with you all the
time too... heh!  LOL.  :-)
