auto cross devices

Ok some cisco devices I have noticed will work with straight through and cross over cables.

But my co-worker is saying it depends on the device they are talking to...

This doesn't really make sense to me. Can anyone explain?

    the feature I am reffering to is called:
    Auto-MDIX


    I got a 2960G and a hub. They will not talk to each other unless I use a cross over cable.

    Now it looks like the 2960 doesn't have the auto-MDIX. Which I guess I found to be kind of odd.


    Because in the past I used and ASA 5520 and 5540 to connect to this same hub, with both cross over and straight through cables and if memory serves me both cable types work....
