I want to put two Ethernet ports on my device to allow a local connection for servicing without disconnecting from the internet/central server.
What is the best way to implement a cheap hub? It needs to be reliable, but performance isn't an issue.
I found this super duper dumb schematic — if this is really a good idea, it's a great idea! Simply connect a diode for each tx/rx path to form a 3-way crossover cable.
Grr, I'm not allowed to post a link yet. tinyurl dot com/ypfcbf
Thanks!
