I found a Cisco 1500 hub on E-bay you think its just a typo?? or did you mean it was a hub not a switch? is this what you were referring to your discussion earlier?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3048062984&category=11180 Thanks

One interesting thing we found when installing the new Cisco switch, we left it at auto-negotiate (at first). It negotiated with the Smartbridges AP as 10Mbps-FULL Duplex. We were seeing errors and packet loss (3-4% still). We hard-coded the Cisco switch to 10Mbps-HALF duplex and now everything is running great. It seems like the problem with the smaller switches may (MAY) be that they negotiate as 10Mbps-FULL (just like a Cisco does when dealing with the Smartbridges). I'm not sure why this is but we also saw this same thing with a Smartbridges talking to Cisco 2924 switch so it seems to be consistent.....
