No.  Now that I have a PCMCIA ethernet card for my laptop, 
I use ethernet for everything.

The UTP (phone-type) is more upwardly compatible, but the
BNC (round) does 10Mb just fine.  The coax cables used for
BNC are more fragile and need T-connectors and terminators 
(at both ends), but you might get them for free (just about 
everybody has upgraded to UTP).  The biggest advantage of
UTP is that it can be used on 100Mb ethernet cards.

No.  As long as you insmod the correct module for the ethernet 
card, you are good to go.
