Need to buy some more hubs and i need to know if auto sensing is the same as a switch on a hub.

Not sure what you mean, but...

An autosensing hub will support either 10 or 100 megabit ethernet connections at half duplex. Switches perform autonegotiation. I think there is a difference. Most all switches support 10/100, half or full duplex.

Does that answer you question?
