Have you ever noticed that Western Digital Ethernet adapters have what appears
to be a capacitor that is partially sawed through?  It's near the thick
ethernet connector.  It might even be a varistor.  I've seen it on older
WD8013 EBT's and on their latest (Rev B).

Does anyone have a clue why they do this?
