This may be a bit naive but I think it is no more difficult than
adding the addresses of the machines on either network to /etc/hosts.
Then when you connecto your cable to one or the other hub, your machine
will know about the others on the network.
This assumes you've already setup "eth0" on the notebook and it has a
unique IP not already in use on either network.
If you've established an ethernet interface on the Notebook, just add
all the machines IPs that to which you want to connect, to /etc/hosts
/etc/hosts might look like:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.3 firstnet3.three.lan firstnet3
192.168.1.1 firstnet1.one.lan firstnet1
192.168.1.2 firstnet2.two.lan firstnet2
192.168.2.1 secondnet1.one.lan secondne1
192.168.2.2 secondnet2.two.lan secondnet2
All the 192.168.1 numbers are on one network
192.168.2 numbers are on the second.
192.168.1.3 is the Notebook.
Connecting a cable to either lan should make your notebook a part of it.
This scene assumes there are no special security rules or applications
in place.
