   That's not a high collision rate. A "high" collision rate is 50% (one
collision on every other packet), which I sometimes see on wcarchive. The
above rate is only 1% which is far into the noise. The output errors are a
problem, however. It really does look like you have a cabling problem of some
kind - especially if you are using thinwire.
