Any comment on the item? You might want to consider this TP-Link managed switch. It has port mirroring, so it can be used to monitor Ethernet traffic. I just bought one today.

Some have decided against this sort of device, because it uses a Windows based configuration utility. Well, I just checked and it works in Wine. I got mine for $35 last month, but $45 is still a good price for a switch that can be used as an Ethernet tap. No Windows required.
