I just had a look at my local shop, and they don't even sell ethernet hubs. If someone sells today a hub for someone to install at home, I consider that a swindle. Pure swindle.
The section is called "hubs and switches" in that shop. But looking carefully, all the hubs are "USB switches". I sorted the page by price, hopping to see "hub". But none I could see for ethernet. Some very cheap items, though, under 10€. http://www.pccomponentes.com/hubs_switchs.html D-Link GO-SW-5E/E Switch 10/100 5 Puertos - Hub/Switch But it is a switch, it has a MAC table, store and forward... And 9.95€ That web parlance doesn't know a hub from a switch. But looking at the details of they actually sell, all are switches. Well, all those I looked at. At those prices, there is no justification for hubs. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
