I'll second that complaint about Netgear...I've got an 8-port Netgear 10/100
hub. Every so often it just locks up solid and doesn't move data until it's
power cycled. I'll never buy anything from them again.
Ethernet autosensing in general seems pretty dicy, regardless of the brands
involved, though.

Netgear stuff is sometimes reported to have certain...difficulties...with
autosensing/negotiation (what speed, am I half/full duplex etc.), especially
switches - I'm not surprised the 3COM cured it; still, if all it's doing is
talking to a cable modem, 10Mbps shouldn't be a bottleneck.
