My Netgear DS104 is OBE; it stops every few days
pending a power cycle. I need a hub, rather than
a switch because I have one box promiscuously
sniffing all my Linux boxes. Some shopping
seems to suggest that hubs are no longer available.
I did find some used on the web but none new.
I heard a rumor that some switches can have their
switching switched off so they function as hubs.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks,
Mike.

Get a managed switch that supports port mirroring. Just about any Dell
PowerConnect 2000, 5000 or 6000 series will do it, as well as many
others from other vendors.
