The NetGear FS-105 (ask for it by name ;-) has been tested by someone on the FreeBSD lists to be a Real Switch and is smaller than most other five-port 10/100 switches. It doesn't have a fan and seems to run warm/hot, but works. I've had mine running for several months and haven't seen a single sign of failure. I also have a Linksys which I have only been able to test out to three ports. It seems to get the job done, but I need another PC to test with to make sure. I prefer the Netgear because it's smaller and in a metal case. I've taken apart my Linksys and wasn't happy with the lack of shielding. As always, YMMV. ----- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
