I have the PN 895 (I think) with the minihub and I have been looking to buy
another ethernet card that has a X-Jack instead (because it is a bit more
convenient than carrying around the minihub) I didn't know there was a special
cable. I checked to see if I could buy just the cable from Farallon (now
proxim) and they don't sell the PN895 any more only the PN595a (which don't
work with Newt). Guess I will troll Ebay for some leads on getting just a
cable. I did find this list on the Proxim site which may be useful to some
regarding ethernet cards and their respective chipsets... I found it
interesting:

Proxim cards and the chip sets that they use

                                    Proxim PN472 uses the Intersil Prism 1 chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN473 uses the Intersil Prism 2 chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN576 uses the Realtec 8029AS chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN579 uses the Tamarack TC3299 chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN583 uses the Realtec 8019AS chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN593/893 uses the DEC21041 chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN595 uses the 3Com 3C589 chip set.
                                    Proxim PN595a uses the SMC 91c94 chip set.
                                    Proxim PN598/898 uses the SMC 91C94QF chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN796 uses the AMDtek AN986 chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN880 uses the 3Com 3C509 chip set.
                                    Proxim PN990 uses the 3COM 3C595-TX chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN993 uses the Realtec 8139 chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN994 uses the 3COM 3C595-TX chip
set.
                                    Proxim PN995 uses the DEC21143 chip set.
                                    Proxim PN996 uses the DEC21143 chip set.
                                    Proxim PN998 uses the DEC21143 chip set.
                                    Proxim PN9000-sx uses the Alteon ACENIC
chip set.
                                    Proxim PN9100 uses the Alteon Acenet chip
set.
