[clue] Ubuntu nfsroot weirdness

[Dan Kulinski]

But the jet engine fan adds to the cool factor.  Jokes aside, if you look
for a "smart" switch it will probably do what you need.  Most smart switches
I have used in the path have low end CPUs but provide things like VLAN, port
mirroring and link aggregation groups. The lower end CPU cuts down on
cooling requirements.

A quick look on newegg lands me on this one:

This would be a linksys underneat but should provide what you need.
