Anybody know of a cheapish 5-port switch that understands 802.1q
(even at a very basic hardwired "this port is vlan 3" level)?
Something about the size of the slim 5-port Netgears would be
awesome. Instant ethernet interfaces! (Yes, they'd share the same
100Mbit, but when your device is a router between an 11Mbit
wireless, a 1.5Mbit ADSL link, and the rest of your network, it's
hardly noticeable).
