Why does Ethernet not work when connected a Laptop with PC-Card Ethernet interface to a SmartNode using a crossover cable?

Some PC-Card Ethernet interfaces do not provide enough voltage to be recognised as a proper Ethernet signal by the SmartNode network interface. We recommend to connect the Laptop to the SmartNode using straight cables via Ethernet hubs or switches.
