Then pay attention to other's posts and check thru your network.
Maybe some of devices connected to hub have full duplex on and kill the
whole (your) network (collision domain)

maybe it is router itself, maybe some of your users think they're smart and
'why don't use fd if my nic offer this feature'.

I've fought these idiots some time ago. But my network include switches and
if any idiot connected to hub wish to play with duplex - then he only play
with his own collision domain - not larger then single department.

and if it is not duplex issue, then take lan tester and test your cabling
... then hub ...
then get rid of your "proprietary linux based product"
:)
