ah sorry, I misunderstood you on that one. I see what you mean. The POE adaptor I'm using specifies that it uses pins 4&5 for positive, 7&8 for negative. If I've got my facts straight, whether you're using A or B standard, transmit pins are 1 & 2, and receive pins are 3 & 6. So the POE is not overlaying the data. And besides, the older style cable I used as a test was wired this same way, and IT works...

I'm pretty sure we're using 10/100 already, I'll find out and confirm...
