Well, my hubs box explicitly only speaks of 100. Nowhere the 10 is
mentioned. Maybe that's a commercial trick ?
It brings me to another question though, if I would want to set up a
network with mixed speeds (an old machine having only a 10 mbps
ethernet, while the newer machines have 100 mbps) is that possible ?
What kind of device would be necessary for that ? Are there hubs that do
this speed transformation ?
