I've seen a few of these. An outside vendor came in to my office and
tried doing some sniffs on his own equipment and couldn't figure out why

marketing people at Linksys don't have any decent Sales Engineers, or
just got lost staring at the OSI model poster.
If you want a decent hub either check out the 3com hubs or the netgears:

Ps you should know better than to buy a Linksys :)
