Crossover cable would be from the PC directly to the PS2, or another PC.
My PS2 uses a patch cable (non-crossover) between it and my switch. And mine came with a patch cable too, so I'm certain you need a patch if it's from router to PS2.

i would have gone with a crossover because its more useful to have. But a straight through would be alright, the router will have a an auto-detection nic on it anyways, so it will sort it all out etc

If you're buying the PS2 network adapter brand new, it should come with the proper cable, allbeit it only about a metre of it though.
