Whilst on topic has anyone come accross reasonably priced 802.3bz
supporting switches ; aka 10G Copper with Fallback based on Media

Netgear and Buffalo were the only two I found that were anywhere close to
reasonably priced (1000$ odd); and then there is a long list of Wireless AX
ap's that have a port of it which is not useful.
