Is that card only 10bt? Most anything made within the last few years is
10/100 which does use all pairs, and you have to use the right signals
on each pair for it to work.



100 base T and 1000 base T use the same wires. (1,2,3,6).


You sure about that? My recollection is that Gigabit uses all 8.


1000BaseT is 2 pair, and most Gigibit uses 2 pair.

If they didn't they couldn't do Power Over Ethernet (PoE) injection
on the first pair, 4&5 B)
