[tech] CAT5 on patch port 8 to hub

> and then you made a crossover cable and had to remember the order! :)

No, just upgrade to the NetGear switches which autosense cables :-)

When NetGear were developing GigE switches which use all 4 pair they
realised that nobody had any idea what a GigE crossover should look
like, all the cables ever built would be different, and they may as
well just autosense which wire goes to which wire.  Then they realised
how cheap and convenient it actually was to just make all ethernet
connections between their switches just work, and were intending to,
or probably have by now, backport it to their 10/100Mbps switches.
