Peter, I have a similar problem at home.
I have a cheapo D-Link mini-hub. I don't even know the model :)
When I connect my laptop, which uses a Xircom RealPort adapter, and transfer
large files from the laptop to the other PC's, the collision led seems like
the power led :)
Although my connection is 10Mb, My boss says that Ethernet as it is,
saturates at half the rate.
This is why in the OfficeConnect hubs from 3Com, the LED bar goes from 5%
to 80%, never to 100%.
I guess that this is the result of poorly implemented hubs/nics.

Subject: [Leaf-user] OT: Question about hubs
pn] I've noticed when FTPing large files between two machines on the same
subnet/hub, the collision light alternates between flickering and almost
solid-on. Is this normal and of any real concern? Does it have anything to
do with hub "quality?"
pn] FWIW, I'm using Kingston KND800TX 10/100 hubs, and both machines in this
case have 3C905B-TX (100) NICs.
