Some have pigtails some don't I don't care for pigtails personally.

I looked into all this when I had the grand thought of turning my PPC into a home grown Fluke which never panned out because 1) I could not find a dual interface hardwired NIC that allowed for packet passthrough and 2) I could not find the right diganostics software.

Anyways. Hope this helps.

There are. There's a (rather outdated, though) list at http://www.cewindows.net/peripherals/cfethernet.htm .

Some people recommend the Socket LP-E CF+ Ethernet card because it has WM2003+ support. See for example http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/WM2003/ActiveSync/WM2003ActiveSyncConfiguration.html on this.

Personally I like the Hawking H-CF686TX, a 10/100 CF unit. Not a bad price at newegg. And the utilities from www.cam.com
