Yours doesn't seem to say half or full duplex. Take a look at mine.. =20
rl0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::248:54ff:fe6c:2013%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1=20
ether 00:48:54:6c:20:13=20
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback>
Regardless, I would suggest one of three things -- 1) don't worry about
the collisions - they are a normal ethernet phenomenon and occur
whenever two devices on the segment broadcast at exactly the same
moment. 2) Get yourself a switch. 3) Try to find a way to set that NIC
to half duplex. ifconfig will do it, I believe, but I don't know the
syntax for setting link/media options...
Good luck!
(corrections welcome)

Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion, that is something I forgot to mention. I
believe
it is set to half-duplex. Here is the output of ifconfig, correct me if
I'm
wrong.
Thanks

Just a thought...
Try setting fxp0 to half duplex. From what I have seen, most cheap hubs
can't deal with full duplex very well.

Hi,
I have a FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE box with two network interfaces ed0 and
fxp0.
