DLink DFE 538 TX (TealTek 8139) too slow
Why is DLink DFE 538TX Realtek 8139 too slow over 10Mbps HUB ( ~1Mbps) and apparantly too many collisions on a 2 computer network??!!! It also shows Half Duplex autonegotiated!!

you can only negotiate half duplex on a hub... since you only have two computers connecting them with a reversal cable with allow you configure them both for 100Mb/s full-duplex.

This can be because of another NIC being broken (or just crappy). Most 10Mbps HUBs cannot handle full duplex, and if you enable this anyway, you get excessive collisions. Check that the other computer does not have full duplex enabled.
To check if it's the HUB, you can always put a patch cable directly between the two computers. This way you will get 100Mbps too, if both supports it.
A patch cable is wired in a different way than a standard cable, so be sure to get the right kind.
