[Running 2.1.6]

We just upgraded our twisted pair hub to a 100Mbit switch, so
now I'd like to take full use of the 100mb bandwidth. However, 
I'm now getting lots of "Oerrs" reported by netstat -I when trying
to send to another box running at 100Mbit on the same switch. When
sending to a 10bt only box on the switch, all seems fine, and I'm
getting xfer speeds at ~900K / sec. But when talking to another
box running 100tx, I'm getting ~30 -> ~75K / s. 

When I reverse the data flow (sending from Sparc Ultra 1 to the
FreeBSD box), I'm getting ~3.5Mbyte / second.

All of the ports on the switch are set for autoconfigure. The
BSD box autoconfigs 100tx at probe / attach time. It only
seems to support simplex, whereas the sparc configs full duplex.

Any pointers / suggestions?

Thanks!
James
