Normally hubs have a switch on their "uplink" port which lets
that port either be an ordinary (straight through) port or one
where the wires are switched (like a crossover cable).  If you
connect uplink to uplink with an ordinary cable then you want to
set one of them for straight-through and the other for switched.
