or is there an aui or aaui connector besides the bnc? sometimes there's a switch to select which one. there are also "token ring" cards that look just like ethernet cards, and some ethernet cards with a switch to select "cam" networking, which is used in factory automation and is similiar to ethernet. i wouldn't expect an ethernet card to crash the network just because the driver isn't installed, it shouldn't do that. which ethernet cards are you trying to use?
