Hi Eugene,
this problem has been discussed a while ago between my co-worker and
Matt-Porter - first on the list and later on in private. We also have this
problem on a custom board using the 440GX. It can be also seen on a Ebony
(440GP) as well and on our rather old Ocotea. Our kernel originally is based
on 2.4.26, but the EMAC driver has been backported from 2.6.9.
Fiddling around with some settings seems to help a bit, but in the end we see
excessive collisions. The reason is not clear yet.
Matt could not confirm this behaviour 'til now.
Ciao,
Gerhard
