This is saying over 9% of the packets sent have errors! What should I look at to determine exactly what is causing these errors? The switch indicates that all of my NICs are 100 baseTX full duplex, and I know they're configured that way. I don't see any input errors on the other FreeBSD boxes connected to the switch. I also have a Windows 98 box connected to the switch, but if there's any way to detect ethernet media errors with it, I'm not aware of it.
