I don't think hubs can *do* full duplex Ethernet.
For all I know, that sentence in Portuguese means "Seems to operate
in Full Duplex..." which would be a totally different kettle of fish
(as in "whaddya mean by 'seems'"...???) :-)
(No, I don't read Portuguese, but it's not too hard to infer what
some technical specifications in a document in a Romance language
says if your native language is a Teutonic language that got a huge
injection of French about a thousand years ago from a bunch of
Norsemen who'd ended up in France. :-))
Sometimes, the nuances can bite one in the ass, as you mention in a
later note on "false cognates." Unless one is fluent in the language
or at least *VERY* knowledgeable about what are false cognates and
what aren't between that language and English, trying to interpret is
really asking for it in a technical discussion where precision is
everything and the Devil's in the details. So I don't even try to go
there...
