None of the above popular products support auto-sensing.
my linksys switch has auto sensing i think
i haven't worked with any current cisco equipment so i can't speak for that but i would assume they would.

They don't.
At all.

My brand new $15,000 3750G-48TS-E access switches... no auto sensing.

then again it's not really that fucking hard to make a xover cable for the one device that needs it.

People using enterprise-class hardware should be smart enough to know when to use crossover cables, so auto-sensing is a wasted feature. That's why it's not there.

Standard consumer-grade hardware (Linksys, D-Link, etc) is designed with grandma in mind, and in the last 5 years or so have started to incorporate auto-MDIX at the PHY level, because it makes their products simpler to use.
