After few days observation, I would like to share the results with
all of you.
Due to my misunderstanding, I set the hub to operate in full duplex
mode. It is true that the hub(Dlink DFE-904) and ethernet card work
without trouble. But something happened to the data rate on the link.
Data rate with half duplex is around 7%~10% higher than the data rate
with full duplex. So now I set correct parameters to
"media 100baseTX mediaopt half-duplex."
