Can I add a request to try some performance analysis/explanation as
well?

I got a D-Link Gigabit switch and gave it time to train to my mac
addresses, but it ran at about 20% the speed of a crossover cable.
So I returned it and forked out the extra for a Netgear equivalent
(DG834G), and guess what?  8-(

The concensus seems to be that Consumer Networking Kit Is C**p, but I
can't help wondering if there's a way to give it a helping hand.....
