Ok, so a mains to 10/100bt cable, 4 pins were hot, 4 were neutral. And not
all 10/100bt cards have isolation between the ethernet chip and the jack.
This was a particularly nasty "winmodem" style card that only worked under
windows and only with the vendor supplied driver. I don't remember if it
was a marvell or realtek chipset anymore.
Somewhere
around here I have a mains to RJ45 cord :) someone once bet me
I beleive that's actually impossible. RJ45 implies not only the conencotr
(8p8c 'modular' but also the wiring/signals. 10baseT and 100baseT
ethernet connectors are not strictly RJ45s, and anythign with mains on it
isn't either...
