The Ethernet is running full duplex at 100Mbps. The network board is connected to a 3COM Ethernet Switch model 3C16464. When you do a netstat -i it show an extremely large number of Oerrs. Opkts 59363 and Oerrs 59019. There appears to be an Oerr for every packet sent. The receiving device gets the packets with no problems. If I connect the Ethernet to a hub, which forces the Ethernet connection to half duplex, the errors go away. Is there a problem running FreeBSD full duplex or am I getting false Oerrs?
