You're joking, right? The only Ethernet cards I know of which support 
connecting multiple network cables to one card are the really expensive 
4-port RJ45 cards that have highly specialized hardware to basically 
act as 4 NICs on one board.

Any plain $5 BNC/TP combo card certainly does NOT support connecting a 
cable to both BNC and TP connector!
