I don't know that they're exactly contradictory ... network cards can 
create a "pin 1" problem.  There is no shield, several wires are left 
floating and unbalanced RF is free to find its own way to a chassis 
ground through the circuitry.  Some cards may be better than others 
(I have no experience) depending on layout and stray coupling but 
handling issues with RFI on network cables can be a real problem.
