Replacing hundreds of 10Mbit hubs isn't something resnet is looking
forward to. As far as both money and labor are concerned. It really is a
moot point if you stick to normal ethernet cards. The hubs only get picky
with MAC address spamming, and cards trying to link at 100Mbit. Something
that is only a problem with second-rate NICs. Linksys cards account for
90% of resnet problems even though they only make up 10% of the NICs in
the dorms. I can't complain about free 10Mbit access.
