Linksys is sort of well known for playing this trick: they call entry
level switches "hub" and reserve "switch" for higher-level equipment.
Which is fine for people who just have to check email and play Quake, but
screws you to no end when you actually need a hub :-/

Google will tell you more about this, as well as suggesting real hubs.
I'd recommend to go with Netgear.

Bye,
