er, no. GigE over copper autodetects crossovers, so a standard cable will work anyway. Actually this has been backported to some 100MB switches now (presumably use same io interfaces) so crossover cables are fast disappearing. You can even stick a non crossover cable between a 100MB pci card and a GigE one and it will work.
