I haven't followed all your thread, but check the following....
Cable length: no segment over 300 feet (for UTP 10/100baseT cabling) or over
600 feet for 10base2 cabling (coax or thinnet).
Remember the 543 Ethernet rule (max 5 segments, max 4 repeaters (hubs and
media converters are repeaters too), max 3 populated segments).
If you still have collisions you must suspect a bum hub (cheap hubs are
notorious for collisions and other timing problems, I throw out about 20
cheap hubs a year). Only a packet analyzer will reveal the cause if this is
the case. If you use one of the packet analyzers for Linux, be aware that
only certain NIC cards support true promiscuous mode.
You can also suspect a bum NIC card. It is common for a NIC to have a weak
transceiver. Again, a packet analyzer would help.
