(Netgear FE108, google image search, finds ebay listing with sharp pictures)
The collision LED is off, which means the partition is working.
The manual does say about the partition LED: "The port is being partitioned because of excessive collisions or jabber conditions."
I guess it has enough smarts to detect high numbers of collisions. Detecting jabber (malformed ethernet frames, I looked it up) is starting to look like smart processing at layer 2 to me, so it was growing towards a network switch.
