    Just a minor note: GigE should not require a crossover cable. It's
    supposed to work to connect two GigE adapters with a straight-thru
    cable. I verified this with two Intel em NICs, quite a while ago.
    As I recall, when I used a crossover cable, I could not get the
    adapters to go to 1000, only 100. That might have been the cable,
    or not.
