Guess we have a bit different experience with computers most if not all my experience in the last 10 years is that they do just that and automatically detect as needed. My 1999 Dell Laptop I am typing this on does exactly that have not ever needed a crossover with this or any other of the computers here. Guess each computer manufacturer does it a bit differently.
Some of the current Servers I am working with is a DELL R320 and R620 along with Desktop HP RP5800 and a bunch of proprietary PCs I can't talk about (have a new MB to checkout next week for one of my COs products next week and I would bet that it doesn't either). NONE of them do any auto detect so I do feel that my current experience with Ethernet is pretty much up to date.
