1 Hello,

4 I have been using flat hubs (netgear 104EN is my favorite) for some time
5 to sniff out ethernet traffic. Now days, it's difficult to find flat hubs
6 for this purpose, that are new. Ideally I like to find a 10/100/1000 flat
7 hub for sniffing, but I'd settle for some new 10/100 devices. I really
8 like the metal cases on netgear's hubs, but, I'm most open to other
9 vendors that still manufacture these devices.

11 If this (widened search) does not produce anything, I'd be curious as to
12 any recommendations for a ethernet chipset that would be suitable for
13 building a 10/100/1000 flat hub (enhanced for sniffing). I googled for
14 a while yesterday, but, the devices I found listed as hubs were either
15 used or it was not really clear that indeed they were actually flat hubs
16 and not cheap switches.
