Hello,


> It looks like tha I have the same problem as you have

Yes, I encountered very similar problems but under FreeBSD.
I doubt it has anything to do with the OS, but my thread
has been either ignored or missed.

You seem to have a lot of errors which could very possibly be because of
bad cabling or a lot of crosstalk. You also seem to have 'zero'
collisions, thus using a Layer2 switch, or is it crossover?
