It sounds like the hub has AUI and BNC ports, in which case you should be fine.  I'm using a similar setup.  Just make sure you get all the BNC T's and terminators to go along with the BNC cable if that's the way you're doing it.

What do you mean by "different pin number?" The BNC connector should be 10BASE2 on both devices, and you'll need five pieces for proper cabling: BNC T-connector (2), 10BASE2 terminator (2), 10BASE2 (RG-58A/U coaxial) cable (1). Attach the BNC T-connectors to the NIC and the HUB. Attach one terminator to each of the T-connectors. Connect the remaining open ends of the T-connectors with the cable. You've now built a simple Ethernet backbone.

terminator <- T-connector -> cable <- T-connector -> terminator
