Hm.  I've found several cheap hubs that have crappy collision detection,
and will completely spam NFS traffic by calling collisions and temporarily
partitioning ports for non-error situations.  FreeBSD just overloads the
hub. :)

Good vendors include:
Netgear
Asante
HP

Bad vendors include:
Kingston (SOHO line especially)
LinkSys (?)
