I have a Linksys hub and the same at-home network. I would recommend Linksys.
Good Luck,
Bryan

Subject: [newbie] Build a small home LAN
Hi all,
I use Linux Mandrake 6.0 and I would like to build a small home network,
connecting two PC and maybe later a laptop.
I plan to start first with thin ethernet ( BNC-10Base2 ) and than switch
to a 10Base-T ( Unshielded Twisted-pair-Rj45 ) with a small 5 ports
hub.
The two manufacturer I am looking at right now are:
Linksys ( http://www.linksys.com )
Micronet (http://www.micronet.com.tw )
I have found a lot about Linksys, they also have a linux www support
page
http://www.linksys.com/support/solution/nos/linux.htm , it looks that
the ethernet card is supported.
They also offer a network starter kit with everything you need to
connect 2 PC.
Micronet reports also to be compatible with Linux, but I did not find
any information on the Ethernet HOWTO.
Anyone with some experience with the above products to help me to make a
good choice ?
Thank you in advance for any reply.
Best regards
Luca
