They have started that.  Via has atleast one auto-mdi/mdi-x nic chip.
We'd like it if more companies start doing it but I wouldn't hold my
breath.

Caveat is that a Netgear auto mdi/mdi-x switch won't allways sync with 
the fxp0 in my laptop :-(  So looks like we are in for another round of
auto negotiation that doesn't always work.

I do like the Intel gig cards, since you can get dual fiber and copper 
version.
