I'm assuming here that the cable on your ethernet card terminates in a
male RJ45 plug, right? If so, you should grab an RJ45 coupler in addition
to the crossover cable. The coupler is just a widget with two female RJ45
jacks that will let you attatch two cables together.
If the cable on your ethernet card terminates in a female RJ45 jack,
you'll just need the crossover cable.
