As hubs are simply "plug in cable and go on", I don't think we need a
list of hubs, as all hubs will do the capturing job, it's their job by

Or am I missing something here?

One problem is, I think, that not all devices with "hub" in the name are really hubs - I think they're often really low-end switches ("switching hubs").
