Uhm... two thoughts:

a) as the Ariadne isn't full-duplex, your hub might be confused and try to
do full-duplex. can you fix it at hdx?

b) When the Ariadne is in auto mode, it switches (with our driver) away from
its port to the other one, if it things it sees no carrier (afaic deduce
from 3 seconds worth of browsing the source.) You should try

ifconfig le$N media 10baset 

(if not already done) to force it to TP.
