Hi there group. I'm having trouble with a fxp0 card. When I ping it there are little lost packets, also the netstat -ni shows a lot collisions. The polling is enabled: kern.polling.idlepoll_sleeping: 1 kern.polling.stalled: 422 kern.polling.suspect: 937141 kern.polling.phase: 0 kern.polling.enable: 1 kern.polling.handlers: 1 kern.polling.residual_burst: 0 kern.polling.pending_polls: 0 kern.polling.lost_polls: 944349 kern.polling.short_ticks: 623 kern.polling.reg_frac: 20 kern.polling.user_frac: 50 kern.polling.poll_in_trap: 0 kern.polling.idle_poll: 0 kern.polling.burst_max: 150 kern.polling.each_burst: 5 kern.polling.burst: 150 hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10 What are they for?

Are you by any chance running this card in half-duplex mode? If you were connecting to a hub (rather than a switch) and all of your network was running half-duplex, then that level of collisions wouldn't be particularly remarkable. However nowadays basic 100Mb switches are cheap, so that would be rather unusual. However, a card that fails to autonegotiate with the switch will fall back to running at 100-half. That's generally pretty obvious because performance will be abysmal. Other alternatives are hardware problems -- try a different ethernet cable. Try plugging into a different port on the switch. Try a different computer on the cable etc. where you're seeing the problems. If none of that identifies a fault in the cabling, then it's looking more likely that your network interface has gone fubar.

Well,
the card is connected to a switch that is manageble and the port is set to
10Mbit Full duplex on purpose.
I'm not setting the port speed manual - is that a problem when the port is
not 100mbit/fd?
This is the ifconfig output:
