Are you sure it’s not meant to be an RJ45 plug? The cylindrical thing to the bottom left corner of the wall socket looks like it might be a BNC plug. Which would make sense for the era of quake when Ethernet wasn’t yet ubiquitous.

Also token ring was just one of a few different network protocols that supported BNC. Technically you could run Ethernet 10base2 over BNC too (In fact I used to have network cards that supported this, though I only used them for 10baseT).
TR was definitely the more common protocol for BNC hardware though.
The proportions look more like RJ11 than RJ45 to me. Not how big the clip is compared to the plug. Of course this is a hand drawn icon so take everything with a grain of salt.

RJ45 next to BNC implies a token ring network, not ethernet :)
That was literally what I said:

My combo 10base2/10baseT card begs to differ.
Token ring was the protocol, BNC the connector. Have you even lived without StarCraft on X.25 ? Don't forget to cap the ends!
Yes i look closer. Maybe it is a rj45.
