Can someone clarify this please - do you need an expensive switching hub
to run some cards at 10mb and others at 100mb or can you do that with a
hub like that? I was under the impression that if one card is 10mb then
the hub won't run at 100mb (although I could well have been
misinformed).

Do these new hubs come with BNC connectors too?
