I've always liked Netgear products but when I went to order several (Models FS105 & FS108) yesterday I discovered (by calling Netgear) that they've upgraded the latest models with auto-uplink technology (eliminating the uplink button) without modifying the model number. And there are a lot of the older ones in the distribution stream. So there appears to be no practical way to be sure you are ordering ones with autosensing feature. I guess they can be sure of getting rid of the older ones with the button that way but it causes me to want to buy elsewhere.

Can anyone recommend a brand of up to date and durable network switches available at reasonable prices in the 5 port and 8 port variety? (Looking for desktop, 100mbit, autosensing models with lights and rear jacks.)
