This seems to imply that all Gigabit (1000Base-T) devices use Auto MDI-X: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-MDIX#Auto_MDI-X Also most recent 100Base-TX devices support it and this is usually advertised on the box or so. If in doubt just plug the wire ;) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
