    Hmmm..The thumb rule I generally follow is that if there are too many
    collisions, I would look at the duplex settings of the NIC and the
    switch.If one of them is forced(Not auto negotiated) then the other one
    turns itself into Half-duplex.The ifconfig display is also cryptic in
    the sense that it does not tell you explicitly that it is half-duplex.If
    there is no full-duplex in ifconfig display it is half-duplex.Check
    those settings again and may be you are in for a surprise..
