What do you mean by adapter is not required?

So your saying just use a DB9 male connector instead of the adapter when using a PCI card? If so I agree with that but I had the screw terminal adapter handy.

I found the breakout board FAR easier as well.

Maybe just add a little section "if using a breakout board" and have the table you had before...

I'll let you guys figure out what it should look like, maybe also ask Clive what helped him.

You used to be able to get DB9 connectors that came with seperate wires and pins so you could make whatever pinout you want and just plug in an ethernet cable. I never soldered up a DB9 again! I bought from Haymans electrical wholesalers in Australia.
