It was my understanding that GigE automatically adjusted itself so that crossover cables have no impact, and are never needed.
Empirical testing shows that it works. I directly connected my laptop to the server with a regular ethernet cable and I can transfer files just fine. I can also up the MTU on both machines and everything still works fine. It still doesn't transfer any faster than 100Mb/s ethernet however. Now it's time to start playing with transmit queue lengths. And to take the switch back. Bargin price switches don't seem to be worth it.
