Watch the Netgear stuff closely. It might not say "switch" anywhere, but some of their boxes essentially perform the switch function under some circumstances. We've been using a Netgear DS104 hub for a couple years as an access mechanism to perform professional protocol analysis (sniffing) and other network services for clients in 40+ states. When the ports on this "hub" are running at the _same_ speed (10 or 100), it performs as a hub. If the port speeds differ, it performs as a switch without any shadow of a doubt. Proven time and again. Same for some of the 3Com hubs.
It turned out (I think this is why) that my dsl/router to which all boxes were connected is also a switch. So, I went and bought a simple hub. NETGEAR 108 (8 ports), and at least the guy in comp.usa said it isn't switched. And the specs say nothing about switch.
