I ordered 4 of the 3CNJ2000. The came in the other day. So far, looks like they will work out fine, considering they even support .1x (supposedly), but I already noticed an annoying thing - they don't get the DHCP address reliably and fall back the 169. address. So one would have to disconnect

I'm going to be implementing some NJ220 switches. They are EOL, and only 10/100, but their feature set is impressive for their size. I wish they had more than one PoE port, since I'm using them to deploy VoIP to a remote office, but in the end, this will be cheaper for us than strapping a real PoE

I talked to HP and as I expected those ProCurve APs with a 4 port switch are LWAPs which could be great if you got spare $ for a controller, but is not so great on a low budget. I just placed an order for 3 of the NJ2000 to start with. For $150 a pop will see how they work out. Btw, NJ220 (at
