Run to Office Depot and by a $50 switch and see if it works. If it does, cascade the switch to the hub. Might not do much for you speed, but the Ethernet adapter will at least sense a switch.

Subject: Power System vs. The Hub

Just installing my first Power i and I've run into a snag. I am
installing a Power 6 8203-E4A but the ethernet line will not vary on. IBM
support is recommending that I replace the hubs that run the office
network with switches because the ethernet card in the Power 6 is not
compatible with a connection to a hub. The hub I'm using is a 10/100 dual
speed Office Connect from 3 Com and has been in use here for about 10
years. Our trusty old i5 520 running V5R3 gets along with it just fine.

Has anyone had any experience with getting the Power 6 to work in an all
hub environment? This is pretty foreign to me. I don't want to lay out
money for a new office network topology if I don't have to.
