I've got a fast ethernet only (100mbs) hub at home with an uplink port on it. I have recently been given at old Compaq ProSignia with a 10 mbs ethernet card . I also have an old laptop with a 10 mbs pc card I'd like to hook up at home also.

The question: Can I get a 10 mbs hub (same manufacturer?) and link it and the fast hub through the uplink port, and then attach the 10 mbs cards to the slow ethernet hub and have all these devices actually connect? Or would  I need a auto sensing 100/10 mbs hub to accomplish this?

TIA for any help.
