Hi,I don't know if it's possible to make a hub with multiples NICs using Linux, I would say it isn't, cause a hub it's a physical signal repeater and re-generator...
In the case of an ethernet switch, it's possible using "bridge-utils" package. You need multiple NICs (you can also bridge virtual interfaces like Xen, but I don't think that's what you're looking for). Once you've installed the package, you need to use the command "brctl" to create and configure the bridge.

Does anyone know of documentation for a Linux hub or a Linux switch? The simplest example I can think of is a system with a gateway interface transmitting packets for multiple addresses and subordinate interfaces transmitting packets for one or all addresses except for the address of the machine itself.
