I have one of these on my s/auto-sensing/(possibly auto-sensing)/ Auto-sensing allows using either straight or cross-over cables to be used (among other functions) and automatically "corrects" TX/RX to match the cable used. A straight cable to a switch is the norm and doesn't need auto-sensing. For *most* E'net cards w/o an intervening switch/hub, cross-over would be needed though, as others have said. > <snip> -- Bill
