[NTLUG:Discuss] OT but don't know where else to ask

Proprietary hardware has only one NIC.  Would like some redundancy to 
the network, obvious answer is a four-port hub so that at least it can 
be connected to two switches (appropriately configured for this 
arrangement).  That way, if one switch is down there is another path 
(which is what I'm after so that switch maintenance doesn't cause an 
outage).  Problem: it's contrary to corporate standard.  Any other 
solutions you know of that don't look/act/quack like a hub?
