:I have a D-Link DSH-5 5-port 10/100 dualspeed hub here at home,
:and I'm reasonably happy with it. It certainly doesn't hang. One
:of the machines here has trouble negotiating a working 100Mbit/s
:link, but that's just as likely a problem of the Linux tulip driver.

    My one 'de' card (tulip driver) couldn't negotiate a full-duplex
    link but did appear to work in half-duplex.  I also have to ifconfig
    it down and then up again in my rc.local to get it to negotiate 
    correctly.

    At BEST we used tulip cards for a few months since they were one of
    the first 100BaseTX cards available, but had lots of compatibility
    problems between them and the cisco switches so we eventually replaced
    them.
