we have designed a board that amnog other things included such an 8 port switch.
the good news is that the 'feature' can be disabled.
the bad news, is that you need either make a physical change on the board,
or if you are lucky and have a serial port on it, it is possible to configure through there.
cheers, erez.

If the old switch was a 10mb switch then that could explain it.
It's not - it even has leds that lit when a 100Mb card is connected. The throughput changes a lot according to whether the strong machine is the server or client, BTW - the server is a 950Mhz Duron, the client 233Mhz Pentium. When sending from the client to the server, the best I got is 4MB/s, and on the other direction 8MB/s. But I don't think that's related to the switch - but rather to Linux and to the machines' hardware.
I had a client who bought a new switch recently and had the same problem.
At the end we found that the problem was with the 10/100 ethernet card on the computer
and not the switch. It turns out it had trouble understanding what a 100mb full duplex means since
something got messed up(old hardware and all) and it could not be set to 10mb. a quick 30nis
replacement did the trick.
It's very probable that I have the same problem, but I can't add a card, since it's a small machine with only one card slot.
So,.. its not a big problem, is it?
I didn't say it was. I simply connected the old switch to it
(and replaced the intended places of them).
I just intended to point it out for potential buyers.
