I have never come across any system in many years of computing (as in back to before UTP was used for ethernet) which doesn't allow plugging/unplugging of RJ45 connectors.
Isn't it usually all handled in the RJ45 connector interface rather than anyththing being expected of the processor? I'm also sure I've plugged and unplugged the ethernet on my BBB's wothout problems. -- Chris Green ยท -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
