Cross-over works fine.  In fact, with a lot of GigE cards, they 
autodetect the connection type and you can use a straight-through 
cable.  I have that configuration running FreeBSD to Windows XP now, 
waiting for gig switches to get cheap.  (Netgear GS104 looks like the 
first of the cheaper ones, still needs to drop by 50%.)
