I would think so, if you have the same hub as I purchased.  Hub Model
FEHUB05W is 100Mbps only.  Also, my first hub from Lynksys was faulty,
they claimed they shipped alot of bad power supplies that fried the hub.
Packet loss, ping times of 500-1000+ ms, I thought I had NIC probs until I
noticed resetting the hub cured things for a few minutes, then port 5 went
dead.  They handled my tech problem/return very poorly.  All in all I wish
I would have sprung for a 3com hub.  Live and learn I guess ;-)
