i think that i wouldn't use linksys hubs....maybe the one i had was bad
but our cisco router thought that the ethernet connection was being
dropped on and off.  i don't remember what the collision rate was on the
network but it wasn't very high and we tried various ethernet cables until
we finally removed the linksys hub.  after that all of the router messages
about the ethernet interface being down stopped completely....
