As a counter-point, we have five D-Link 24 port hubs with the
10/100 switch module, SNMP, and a fibre link between the two stacks.
They've been running for a year (almost to the day) and we haven't
ever seen one lock up.
The DFE-530TX's have been giving me good throughput, although they
usually fail to autosense a 10 Mb/s network correctly.
And FWIW, I just picked up a D-Link DSH II eight port 10/100 hub
yesterday. It has a switch between the 10/100 segments, which means
I can now get my PAO-based laptop on the network at home (@10 Mb/s).
It ran me CAN$249 retail at the corner computer store. (That's about
USD$160.)
