Well, I went out and bought a switch, fifteen canadian dollars, and
plugged the Asus WL-330g adapter into the switch, reset and configured
the adapter, and everthing works fine now.

So, unless my "experiment" is flawed, the problem was definitely the
old hub.  I'm curious, however, as to why the old hub failed. 
According to the manual a hub should work fine.

Aside from pings, how else can you test a hub?
