I am currently using an Asound AL500P 4-port PCI hub.  It cost about $13 on
pricewatch.  It has an ADMtek AN983B chipset, and runs with the tulip
driver.  This is a dirt-cheap solution-- a single chipset serving a 4-port
hub.  But it has been working just fine in our home LAN for most of a year
now.
