Not really. Cisco doesn't "produce" anything Linksys. They just own Linksys and stick their bridge logo on it. It is still good ole Linksys consumer crap. Comparing Cisco enterprise-class hardware to anything Linksys is like comparing a real Ferrari to it's Hot Wheels version.

Quote you out of context? You stated that Cisco produces Linksys, in effect making the implication they were of the same caliber. At least that is what I took from it. Cisco produces Linksys about as much as HP produces Compaq.

Anyway, no - it isn't that ironic, since most people who are involved with Cisco enterprise products on a professional basis know that Cisco is still Cisco and Linksys is still Linksys. Big difference. Just because it may say "Linksys by Cisco" on the box and have the Golden Gate Bridge logo on it, doesn't really matter.
