Subject: Re: OT: Which Gigabit ethernet card?
Date: 23 Dec 2002 17:28:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1040664496.7156.112.camel@lotte> (raw)

er, no. GigE over copper autodetects crossovers, so a standard cable
will work anyway. Actually this has been backported to some 100MB
switches now (presumably use same io interfaces) so crossover cables are
fast disappearing. You can even stick a non crossover cable between a
100MB pci card and a GigE one and it will work.
