My question remains: What added value we get from listing the hubs with
its ports separately from the port connections? Also, how would this be
printed:

    -net user -net dump -net nic

The user should only be interested in the fact that user.0, dump.0 and
<some_nic>.0 are attached to the same hub, not to which port of that hub.
