If your ethernet card has two types of connectors (RJ45 aka UTP and
BNC [which is a thing that sticks out of the card]) then you could try
to connect the adsl-modem to the RJ45 and the rest of your stuff to
the BNC, which would save you the hub (as BNC is daisy chain) and one
network card. And black thick dusty coax cable can be found for free
everywhere. And BNC connectors don't break so easily!

Don't forget to let us know how it works!
