(reposted from -stable)
I have a machine with a PCI NE2000 card which I use to run cvs. A couple of
weeks ago I had to reinstall (IBM drive failed - enough said), after which I
saw I was getting a *lot* of packet collisions:
Network interface status:

I remembered moving the card to another slot when I was changing the hard
drive, but moving it back made no difference.
Here's the line from my dmesg:
ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (NetVin 5000)> port 0x7f80-0x7f9f irq 11 at device
10. 0 on pci0 ed0: address 00:40:95:43:17:ac, type NE2000 (16 bit)
Here's the line from my config file:
# ISA Ethernet NICs.
device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 11 iomem 0xd8000
Since it's a PCI card, I'm assuming it ignores the bits after 'ed0'?
ifconfig output:
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.133.14.116 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.133.14.255
ether 00:40:95:43:17:ac
I wondered if it's a full/half duplex problem (it's plugged into a switch); I
checked the man page but the device doesn't seem to support the media or
mediaopt options.
Any clues on trying to debug the problem?
