For gigabit, there's no such thing as a hub.
You need a managed switch so you can create a mirror port. Netgear makes
an 8 port one that's ~ $100. I think they have a 5 port version too. It
can also do vlan, 802.3ad (bond/trunk 2 ports together for faster
throughput)
Splice the switch into
There's no need to muck with iptables to make two ports into a switch. This is
done using a bridge interface. Network Manager will even let you create a
bridge (including running spanning tree) for any ports on the system. Might
not have the lowest latency of a dedicated hardware switch, but
Trying to debug some comms problems between a couple of 1000baseT
ethernet devices with poor visibility; can anyone recommend any
inexpensive tap mechanisms that will let me run tcpdump or the like on
the link from a Linux laptop? I'm actually not quite sure what my exact
threshold for inexpensive

Mm. Good point. I don't think I have any managed switches
