Actually my situation is/was this - My external router is connected to my
Firewall with a crossover cable (mostly for security) - I'd like to put a
hub between them so I can attach a PC with Ethereal to do packet traces
between the two devices. I've tried using a Linksys 5-Port auto-sensing hub
(product # - EFAH05W), but apparently this is a switched hub and I can only
see broadcast traffic on the segment.

Actually, before buying some device, maybe you can look on the 
configuration of your switch if you can declare a dedicated port for 
sniffing (working fine on cisco, hp, etc ...)
