| Also, should it really matter to me whether the cable is cat 5 or cat 5e? I

| tomorrow).

I would think that putting in Cat 6 would make the most sense because
that is the most modern standard that you can conform to.  Eventually,
all ethernet NICs will be 1G (or better).  Might as well support it
now.  You don't really want to reopen the wall.
