I've been bitten by a similar thing using a Netgear dual speed hub -
watching for ICMP errors being transmitted on a 10BaseT port, but failing to
see them on the PC running Ethereal with a 10/100 card that had negotiated
to 100BaseT.   The 10/100 bridge wasn't propogating ICMP errors.

Solution in that case was to force the card down to 10BaseT by using a
10BaseT-only hub.
