For the record, "magnetics" refers to galvanic isolation for the data pairs between the Ethernet cable and the host device - essentially a pair of small 1:1 transformers which used to be in an external little module but nowadays tends to be inside the RJ45 socket itself.

Its a very bad bit of quality control if this really happened as stated... regrettably, the problem would only manifest itself with the destruction of the RP... Nick
It's not likely to cause a problem at all, since there is also a set of transformers inside the hub that you plug it into. Still, there is the potential for trouble.
