[ubuntu-us-nm] Home networking gear

[Chris Brotherton]

My linksys switch died last night and I need a new one.  I am looking for 8
ports, GigE, and support for jumbo frames.  Does anyone have a recommendation?
I noticed that a lot of switches use broadcom chips.  Given broadcom's
attitude towards linux, I would prefer a switch that uses somebody else's
chips (however, a broadcom chip is not a deal breaker).
