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.
After a couple of months I put a drop of oil into the bearing of
the cooling fan, which strongly suggested that treatment by the
noises it was making.
Somebody mentioned power supplies: Since I ordered the hub from
the US but live in 230V-land, I had to experiment a bit with the
transformers I had lying around. Eventually I ended up feeding the
hub's power supply 120V/50Hz and it's happy with that. 100V/50Hz
didn't work.
This should move to -chat.
