Intel Express Network Gear from the late 1990s

Unboxing a new-to-me Intel Express 10/100 hub and remembering how to integrate it into a stack with the Intel Device View UI. I also take a look at a very interesting Fore ES-2810, basically a rebranded Intel Express switch running Fore firmware with ATM support. Finally we'll throw some traffic at the stack with the Fluke LanMeter. Long time viewers will find some of this familiar, I've done a couple videos in the past. But I had some new gear to get integrated and figured it'd be fun to mess around with it all.
