Lots of very interesting and useful information about dual-speed hubs.
Thanks very much! However, when I referenced this:

I was actually thinking that the hub was maybe doing even more of a
switch-like behaviour than simply splitting 10 and 100 Mbps traffic.

All three devices (modem, router, and laptop) are set up to run at 100 Mbps,
and the lights on the front of the hub confirm that they are all connected
at 100 Mbps.

I tried setting the laptop's network card to 10 Mbps, just to confirm, and,
as expected, then I saw nothing at all, neither incoming nor outgoing.

Cheers,

Simon
