Both come with installation CD which raises concerns. That's not a showstopper -- there are *mice* that come with windows driver CDs, but you plug them into linux and they just work.
A USB hub would be pretty hard to screw up. I don't know what a 'sharing station' is, but if you already have the device, try lsusb and google for the resulting ID and string.
The problem is that it is a TCPIP wireless device, not a USB device. That means that you need to have a driver to map the network attached device as a local USB device. You also need to be able to configure the IP settings of the IOgear hub. So sorry, it is a showstopper. Regards, Morrie.
