stackable hubs

[Marcel Kunath]

Well I don't have to use up a port and could connect uplink to uplink but that
would prevent not solve things if you put a third hub on top which you would
have to connect from uplink to port then.

Well I was just asking if I need straight thru for uplink to uplink or straight
thru for uplink to port.
