There was need for the switch reference as there must be special care
taken to use the mirror port.

As hubs are simply "plug in cable and go on", I don't think we need a
list of hubs, as all hubs will do the capturing job, it's their job by
definition :-)

Or am I missing something here?
Many devices with "hub" in their name are actually switches. All of the "hubs" that I have bought in the last couple of years are actually switches.
