Are you getting reasonable bandwidth? My experience was extremely poor:
the absolute maximum that I  measured was about 2.3MB/s but that was far
higher than the average. And I tried with and without hubs, and on
occasions with FA311s back to back (two machines) with a cross-over
cable. This is 100Mb/s, of course. It became clear that the design had a
fault. You may have a later revision, and now it is ok. Or perhaps you
are at 10Mb/s or just haven't measured the bandwidth?

PS. Sorry. I suppose that this is off-topic for the *tulip* list.
