Re: "Network Cable Unplugged" error (FR114P)

Your are right. I couldn't make the cables by myself.
I have tried several cables. all of them are short that 3m, and none of them
works.

It is interesting to observe following behaviour:
My NIC is Actiontec 82559 based Mini PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100).
If I change its "Link Speed & Duplex" to "100Mbps/Half Duplex", I find there
is a response for the connection.
However, the connection is very unstable, it keep changing between
"connected" and "unplugged" states every few seconds.
I don't understand how this setting works.
