Most laptops will automatically switch their Ethernet port to do a crossover connection when necessary. I've never encounted a laptop capable of running Windows XP or later that doesn't do it. That includes the Classmate.

The two things in the FRC control system that do not do automatic crossover are the cRIO and the Axis camera. Wiring those items together is the only place a crossover cable is necessary.
