I've got a 3.7 box running under VMware 2.5.1. This box acts as a "hub" for Unison (over SSH), and the data is stored on a SNAP server mounted via NFS (not my choice).
Originally, using the le driver, network performance was abysmal, and I was getting a lot of collisions. I noticed that "le at pci" has been replaced by pcn in -current, so for kicks I backported the driver to 3.7. (I hate chasing -current on a production box.) Now, performance is reasonable, but I'm still getting collisions. A sample from systat ifstat: Interfaces Ibytes Ipkts Ierrs Obytes Opkts Oerrs Colls pcn0 11585832 8255 0 247940 1476 0 368 Is this normal and/or acceptable? I've tried forcing full duplex on the nic, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
