Hubs sure are fun...


This might be a stupid question, but where can one get small hubs these
days? All of the common commodity (eg:  4 port Netgear) "hubs" these
days are actually switches.

What I am looking for is:
Small enough to live in my notebook bag (e.g.: 4 port with a wall wart.)
Cheap
Simple
10/100/1000Mbps

While a tap would work, I'd prefer a hub because I can then use it to
connect machines together in a pinch.


Hubs are still available that are REAL hubs. I got 4 netgears about a
year ago and they are still available.

However, there is a problem with your specification: No hub (that I am
aware of) can do 1Gbps. All hubs are 10/100 AFAIK.
