If the device works at both 10 and 100 speed, it's a switch, not a hub.

Anyway, the very high rates of packet loss you report suggest a 
physical link-layer problem: can you try swapping out ethernet cables 
or try using another hub for testing?  Also, what does "netstat -i" 
show-- any significant number of errors or collisions (not that the 
latter should be present if using a switch), but something is going 
wrong....
