All of the Ethernet hubs that I vae seen, including cheapo 4 port
models, have included this feature. Sometimes its a dedicated
MDI-X port and sometimes theres is a button to switch the port
between MDI and MDI-X. Forget what MDI stands for.
Hey, I have actually contributed something to this list. Too bad

Unfortunately, all of the hubs I have seen only have one MDI-X port.
