If your ethernet card has two types of connectors (RJ45 aka UTP and BNC [which is a thing that sticks out of the card]) then you could try to connect the adsl-modem to the RJ45 and the rest of your stuff to the BNC, which would save you the hub (as BNC is daisy chain) and one network card. And black thick dusty coax cable can be found for free everywhere. And BNC connectors don't break so easily! Don't forget to let us know how it works!
